Default Help) I have a problem with headlights.

I ordered headlights from Shokan and got it on Friday because someone stole it in Boston.
However, I realized that there is water in the both two headlights. Can it be a problem for using? Or should I return those headlights?

He bought them from Shokan, so they're probably used

Default Open up the backs and take the bulbs out. Make sure they are allowed to dry out.

You could give them a call and see if they will let you return them though, there really shouldn't be any condensation inside them unless there is a leak somewhere.
