Help!!
I bought a set of headlights that were brand new off eBay, now the problem I'm having is when I wash the truck or drive in the rain they fog up inside for about a week. I checked for leaks cant find any and bulbs are tight I even put new o-rings on around the bulbs but it's still happening any Ideas would be appreciated thanks for your time

I had the same issue with one of my headlights (modded). It didnt leak when it rained or when you used a hose, but a high pressue washer would cause the headlight to leak. My dad had to scrappe off the old sealant and put a new one (industrial sealant). It hasnt leaked since. You could always use a hair dryer to get the water out as well.
