My right headlight has been collecting moisture for a while now but it hadn't been anything major until now. About 6 days ago, when had a bad rain storm that last about 2 days. A day or 2 after it ended, I noticed that the passengers side light had collected water about 20 to 25% up [covered the whole bottom turn signal light].
So I got the water emptied out amd let it dry the best I could but today I noticed that the light isnt working properly.
The actual blinker light STILL works [blinks], but the running light [amber light?] Doesnt turn on like on the drivers side and the reflector/light on the side of the lense is out as well [see pics].
Passengers side:
Front of light [Still blinks/flashes]
Side of light
Drivers side:
Front of light
Side of light
I'm sure this is related to the water, but could it just mean that these bulbs just need replace, or could the damage be more serious?
Im going to replace both lenses in the next week or so because of the moisture issue and because of haze of the lense, but I was to make sure there arent any electrical problems b4 I do.
I also see some amber colored shards in the bottom of the lens. I dont know if a bulb bursted, or if its colored coating from the light itself. Will try to get a pic of that during the day.
Also, the lenses I plan to purchase are aftermarket, but look stock and are much cheaper than OEM. Do you guys have any experience with them? Or can you suggest something else? [I dont lile the LED/Projector/smoked out fancy lights]. Price is $149 each. Here's the link
