How to change headlight
Hey I'm new on this.
My wife just got 03 acura tl pearl white
The driver side headlight has condensation/ moisture in it.
But when I wash the car, spray the headlight with water or driving in the rain, I don't see any water in the headlight.
I heard it's because has a bad seal on the headlight.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
How easy is it to change the whole headlight assembly?

not hard at all.
There's a posting on here somewhere on how to remove your bumper. The headlight is held down by two 10mm bolts on the radiator support. Then under the headlight, there's two more. On the fender, there's another one.
Then once the headlight's off, find the leak. I'd take a blow dryer and put it in the back hole and feel where the air is leaking from. But I guess there are other methods. Then once you find the leak, seal it up with clear silicone.
ohh yea, welcome to AZ

Another thing, when do you take off your headlight, you should seal up your ballast too. The ballast sits on the bottom of the headlight and there's a opening where water can get in and mess it up. I suggest sealing that up with silicone also. I had a leak and the water channeled down into the ballast and I needed a new one.

Thanks guys.
I did it this past weekend.
I just realize it was really easy to take the bumper off.
Took me 5 minutes or less to take the bumper off
