Default A couple headlamp questions:

<center><img src="http://images9.fotki.com/v185/photos/2/229737/2160983/DSC00032-vi.jpg"></center><p>1. I just washed my car tonight and noticed that my passenger housing leaked... Is this normal??? It's never been removed or opened.
2. I'm considering doing the Riso Clear Signal mod, but I have the 3M Paint Protectant film on my lenses... will I have any problems when I heat the sealant up to detach the lenses?

TIA

Default when you turn the lights on the moisture should dry up...

from the heat of the headlights. heating the glue could possibly cause the protectant to loosen up from the headlight I would think.

Fogging is normal. I have never seen drops of water though.
