Default Moisture Inside Headlight

Our front right headlight has moisture inside of it. The seal must have worn out. Has anyone purchased the headlights off of Ebay? I was looking at them and they look exactly the same.

Same issue, same question. Ours gathered enough standing water to splash on the headlight bulb and explode it. I took it apart a few months ago to clean it out and "reseal" but that didn't really work. There's no removing the clear lens since it seems heavily glued to the base. I too wish to know the quality of replacement. Interesting to me is that I went and bought a 9007 bulb and it doesn't fit. Maybe this pod was replaced with a similar but different one in the past. Very weird. I don't know which bulb I need now. Will take to parts place to try and match up. Numbers on it don't seem to jibe with similar numbers.

Just drill a few holes at the bottom of the headlight to drain water out.

Search found me this thread. Needed 9008 bulb. Weird. Could try drain holes, nothing to loose. Problem is it has condensation in it all the time. I suppose if it can't be sealed well, better to be well vented. Will try the "let her flow" route.

Well, mine where not only full of water but the lenses were kind of dull and beat up as well. The new lights really made the overall appearance of the vehicle look much better.
