Question I have alot of moisture in both headlights

Des, were your headlights modded/cleared or are they stock?
If they were opened and not re-sealed properly, that can cause condensation issues.

I just bought this car last month. No mods other than tint so far.

You should be able to depending on the dealer. Some will be fine with it and others will flat out say no.

take that car and get it inspected for accident damage as there are only few reasons as to why there is moisture in there

1. hid light not seated properly in the projector
2. broken seal between lense and rest of assembly
3. crack in the housing somwhere

Notice Desmond in my sig? It's really okay to use my given name. I put it in there for that reason. I digress... The did order me new ones however because the part had to match the vin, the had to get the same ones. NP as a member that lives in Raleigh that successfully blacked out his, has stepped up to do it for almost nothing.
