Is there any fine crack in there that you may have miss? Because I remember one time a customer has me to fixed it his headlight and notice that there was a crack that he missed. It must have happen on him when either himself or someone open it up the first time.

I have this problem right now. My '08 hid actually went out after a week of condensation or so because of it. Did this happen to you guys? What did you do about it?
I'm hoping if I take out all the components and wiring, dry them out, reinstall and reseal the outside... I'll be fine. I don't want to open the headlights again.

This same thing happened to me. I opened them up to black them out, re-sealed them with silicone a week later condensation but not much re-opened them re-sealed again... My h.i.d. went out because of it. Ordered and aftermarket hid kit took off the headlight took off the components and brought it inside my house let it air out.. installed them and one week and no condensation yet.... Fingers crossed
Doesnt make sense though all that sealing and still condensation.. i did discover that when i pulled the stock ballast off on the leaking one i found white residue and dirt so i cleaned it up and switched the ballasts to see if it changed anything... waiting on result

The way I do it is upload your pictures on a site like photobucket . Copy the link or the IMG link on that site and post it here in the reply. Sorry I hope explained it well. It is almost 0300 here haha
