Help!! Headlight!!

Hey everyone, Im new here. Ive been looking for a long time online and cant seem to find an answer to my ??. So i bought a RX-8 3 months ago and LOVE IT!! I know that condensation in tail-lights are common but mines in the fron passenger headlight. I took it out, baked it, took it apart seeled it and condinsation started again the next day. Could this be from my A/C leaking or something like that? maybe a headlight seal not on properly? someone please help!! I dont have the money to go but a new headlight assembly.

is there water in it? if it's just condensation, pull the parking light out anytime you have the lights on, it'll let it air/dry out. If the condensation starts again check the seals on the light bulbs (back of unit) before taking/baking them apart again. Maybe you f'd up the seal when you put it back together?
fyi = I had to redo one of my tail lights four times over. Now it's good. Spotted so condensation in my right headlight so I might be in the same boat as you.

Thanks guys for responding. Yes it is condinsation.. there is absolutely no water in there now. There use to be actual water in there before thats why my HID low beam was not working. I even had to replace the ballast. but i seeled the crap out of the light, so I know thats fine. It really just does it on hot days, (not in the rain) thats y i think it may be the A/C because thats right behind that light. Maybe its getting in through the lights in the back??

welcome to club mate , please post in Series 1 sub forum if you can...

It appears moderators/owner can not be bothered adding actual Model Year DATES to the sub forums as I and others have suggested long ago...We get ignored which is normal..

How hard can it be adding 2004-2008 MY in the Series I Forum Titles and 2009-2011 MY in Series II..

I really do not know why we even have these two separate sub forums for the TWO Series as it is just a bloody mess..
