Condensation in my head light
Well last summer i got hit an a accident. Well they replaced the driver side headlight. I also told them they had to clear it so they did. Now today I noticed a bit of condensation in it. My question is I am leaving for a trip for 4 days, should I be worried about it or can it be something that gets delt with after that? I am pretty sure its no biggie but just want to be sure.

You should be fine as long as it isn't filling up with water or making it so you can't see at night. Should be an easy fix as well. remove all of the metal clips that hold the two halves together. Grab a heat gun and heat the tar like substance that holds the two halves together as you slowly pull it apart. I heated it and stuck a flat screwdriver in the crack and worked my way around the light. Then you will want to clean it out, clean up the edges, get some good sealant and reseal the light.

Yea Idk if I will do it myself or make the shop do it since its under warrentee lol. We will see how much time i have on my hands since it won't cost me anything. I had a feeling they didn't really reseal the headlight well. I can just put it in the oven after I have cleaned it out at a low tem and that will make everything sticky enough!
