Default Inside headlamp if ruined, could there be anyway to fix this. (got pictures)

I didn't know untill it happened but there was a little crack on the top seal headlamp that allowed moister to get and got everything wet inside and did this to it. Is there anyway to open it up and maybe clean it? Or is it ruined forever?

That above fix will stop it from leaking I suppose... although I think just using the silicone would work... with out cooking your headlamp! LMAO.... Stang light pot roast anyone??? But as for the damage done with the water spots, that is permanant as far as I know! Mabey you could cook the light.... seperate it from the backing, and get in there to clean it, then re-cook it and silicone it.... buying a new one seems like a better option to me!

Its probably gone. Shop around a bit, I found a set of GOOD OEM headlights from an 03 on Ebay for $60 shipped.

I believe the damage is done and I can't think of any other way to fix it. I might go ahead and buy a new headlamp. But that sucks this shouldnt have happened in the first place. Damn MustangsUnlimited. They said send them the entire set to se if it is defective, then they can see what they can do.

i guess u can try cooking the lights but the easy thing to do it drill a small hole at the top and bottom of the light about 1/8 and it will alow all the moisture to vent out

most modern cars are already set up this way with drains/vents and normally have a rubber hose on them for the water stains inside can try a little bleach shake it around then use compressed air to dry it.

to keep ur light from turning yellow make sure to always wax them when waxing the car it help to keep the uv rays off of them

for yellowed light u can wetand with some paper around 2000 grit or better and buff them back fairly clear or u can wetsand and clear them
