Water in headlight - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

2006 Limited - One of my headlights has water in it - more like condensation. Happened 2 days ago - drove for 1 hour in heavy rain. Still there after 2 days. Coincidentally, I just got my car back from the repair shop where they did body work on the door and fender near the headlight. They say what they did had nothing to do with it. Has never happened before.

What could cause this?
What should I do about it?

Thanks

It will evaporate after couple of days, if not, remove the headlight and dry it with a hair dryer.

Yes it is on the passenger side - is that common? How does the water get in? Any way to prevent it?

Thanks

As mentioned last time, it's common on certain Toyota/Lexus model. Some people fixed it by redoing the seal [do a search you should above the find it] The steps mainly includes putting the headlight in an oven to soften the seal and adjust it again....
