Hey there, Just wondering if anyone on here has water getting in behind their headlights, I assume the seals are stuffed or something. I took it to mitsubishi and they said if it was under warranty they would replace them but they cant help out unless I fork out for new ones or something. Should I replace them? anyone? It just sucks, water should be on the outside only :mad:

I had a small stone chip in one which led to it filling with condensation, it really affected the light level and eventually started to corrode the reflextive surface. A trip to a wrecker netted me a really nice condition replacement for $70

I never got water but did get some condensation inside the headlights, both did how ever get replaced under warranty.

I have the same problem, no obvious reason for it that I can see. I do as Mecha does, leave the caps off until it clears.

Mine are teh GT seies 3 lights and get condensation / water inside in heavy rain/very wet conditions - then I "do a Mecha-Wombat" and leave rubber covers off so they dry out
