About 3 months ago, I changed bulbs to a hid kit and about last month, I started noticing moisture in the headlights.

I'm gonna get under the hood today and try and get rid of it...

ALL HELP APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!

(personal experience is even better )

Simply turning the headlights on for awhile shoulddrive off the moisture. The real question is how to prevent it from re-occuring. Did it only begin after the HID install?

I'm going to the stealership in the morning...and yes it happened after the h.i.d. install... if the h.i.d's were cheap pieces of crap that caused the moisture than I'm just going to go back all the way to stock... I'll keep everybody posted.

The seal rings used to seal the bulb is probably the problem. I'd remove the bulbs and check them. If they were replaced when you installed the HID bulbs,try using the OEM seals (red in color I think), they may be of better quality than the HID seals.

I agree.
That O ring seal is no doing the job.

If the OEM won't help, then the aftermarketsocket ain't worth a damn.
In that case, put a tad of blue Permatex (engine sealant) in the seal groove for extra thickness and put your seal back on top when the Permatex is almost dry, then stick everything back in.
Should do the trick.

For the HID kit that I got I had to use two O rings when I installed it. No leaks yet.
