Leaking Headlight
Currently in the monsoon season - last week the passenger side headlight went out. When replacing noticed the bulb exploded, thinking little about it replaced with new. Three days later (again in the rain) the imfamous idiot light again illuminates and the passender side headlight is again out (and exploded). It's obvious I a getting mostiure indide the housing. Is there a common place I should look to repair?

pull the assembly
Hello TX76513
Pull the assembly, dry it off, remove bulb, fill with water and watch for leak area, mark area, drain and dry (hair dryer works), reseal area and fill with water again. I had one with seven leak areas, a PITA unit. Have a great day.

Seven years and still holding. The trick is good surface cleaning.
