your headlights are probably poorly sealed. are they aftermarket? you can wait for them to dry out and then get some clear silicone and seal around the headlights. or to separate them apart bake it in the oven and the lens and the rest of the headlights should separate clean it up and reseal with clear silicone
hmmm...oke,thanx for the info.i'll try it.but the challange is to remove the whole headlight from the carr and even more challanging is to sepparate the lenz(the glass) from the headlight-housing to get on the inside of the glass.but i'll try it today,hope i dont have to take off the whole bumper.i'll let u know how it goes.thanx.
If the reflective coating in the back has degraded, don't bother trying to reseal. You will need to replace the lights to make them shine bright again. Most of the light from the bulb hits the coating first then gets reflected out the front.
