Default After Market headlight foggy inside one

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone else has this issue and how they fixed it.

Every time I wash the car the inside of the drivers headlight gets foggy.

I tried to reseal with little luck.

I know I can buy new ones (regular aftermarkets) for $90 + shipping but I have the clear ones and kinda like the look.

Thanks,

Fairlee

I bought a set for mine before i sold it and it had the same problem. I just took compressed air blew it out dry and took some soapy water and put it all around the seams and then tried to fill it up with air to see where the leak was and then took windshield repair rtv this way its clear and fixed it and it worked great.
