Moisture Seepage:

Water can enter the light housing through cracks, worn seals, o r poorly sealed connections. This leads to fogging inside the lights and can cause electrical shorts o r bulb failure.

Best Solutions:

Replace Seals: Check the rubber seals around the headlights o r taillights and replace them if they are cracked o r worn.
Ventilation: Ensure the light housing has proper ventilation to allow moisture to escape.
Use Silicone Sealant: Apply silicone sealant around the edges to prevent moisture ingress.
Dry the Housing: If moisture is present, remove the light housing, let it dry out, and clean it thoroughly before re-sealing it.
