    Guys,

    Just noticed one time my headlights got moisture. How do i prevent this from happening? What the hell is causing it to moist in the first place?

    appreciate your inputs thanks.

    washing water or rain water gets in through the gaps in the headlight assembly. After drying it out, you need to apply silicon sealant at the gaps of the headlight assembly and around the portions where parts join up. Also don't forget to seal-up the breather hole.

    too much pressure during body/engine wash. avoid pointing directly toward headlight assembly during underwashing fenders and engine wash hth

    breather hole is it the holes inside the engine bay?

    yup... the hole(s) of the headlight assembly that is positioned inside.

    any of the silicon sealant (like the ones you can find in the DIY stores that comes in foot long plastic tubes) would do.

    usually that happens after the inside of your headlights have been washed and cleaned. that happened to my civic before. it lasted for a couple of days but eventually stopped. i did not try to remedy the problem. it never happened again.

    siguro kung isang linggo na na nag mo moisture pag nababasa, mag palagay ka nalang ulit ng sealant.

    If, after an accident, where the front side near the headlights was dented, then the headlight started to moist inside, would a simple sealant job do the trick?
