Exclamation Water Problem

So I was looking at my car a couple of days ago and I realized that the headlights had quite a bit of rain marks on it. I didnt think of it much and just thought it was dirty.

So about a week later I washed the car, and as I was drying the headlights I realized some Soapy water was inside the head lamp. I knew thats not good - but now its getting a lot worse since it was raining the last couple of days.

Is this covered by Toyota or can I bring it to the dealership?

I cant find where the leak is coming from , and I dont want my light-output to be harmed. My crisp light beam marker is coming a bit defeused.

I would take it in and see what they say. OEM headlamps are pretty $$ and faulty ones can be a safety issue so it would be something to bring up with the dealership.

Broken seal on the unit. This is quite common. The whole unit needs replacement. Great you noticed it while under the bumper to bumper warranty. These units are in the neighbourhood of 300 bux.
