Default Moisten Right Headlight.

I noticed the right headlight of my 2008 H3 got moistened, how can I fix it? Do I need to get it to the dealer or is it easy to fix by myself??

Thanks a lot

Have you ever changed the bulb in that headlight? If so you may not have a proper seal on the backside where the rubber seal that is part of the bulb meats the headlamp assembly.

Dealer replaced the one on my 2010 under warranty. They told me they would not replace it just for condensation (BS) but if moisture was pooling in bottom they would.

Dealer replaced the PS headlight on my 2010 as well.

Said it appeared to be a bad seal between the lens and body of the light.

Lots of condensation but no pooling of water in the bottom of the housing.

After doing a retrofit to install projectors into the OEM housings, I noticed two things. 1. GM used an acrylic type adhesive instead of a butyl type sealant. 2. I always noticed condensation in my drivers side headlight. I found the source. In the lower right corner, looking at the headlight, there is a little hole with a blue sticker on the back side. A water mark was visible from this hole and it would puddle up in the bottom. I checked another driver side headlight that I have, same hole and sticker.
