So after a year and a half this is the first time I'm seeing this. My passenger side light is holding lots of condensation all of the sudden while the drivers side stays crystal clear. I know the lights are vented but why would only one have this happen? Anything I can check/do to prevent? Bad seal maybe?

Have you hit 36000 miles yet? If not take it in for warranty

Take the headlight out and check if there's any openings around the seal.

Or, like mentioned above, get it warrantied if you're still covered. Then you'd get a new replacement.

Not sure. I don't know if they would be of any use since I bought them off eBay.

compoundcustoms147 is the ebay name.

They have not been an active seller since last year on there it looks like. But all reviews were positive.

I got the lights for a real good deal so who knows. May just need to be resealed

Little update: they completely clear up by morning. But that still seemed like an excessive amount last night
