I had moisture in the tail too, but I peeled the gasket off and resealed them. As you can tell from the pics, now they are mint. As for the headlight...I spent 3 hrs the other day removing my front bumper to take it out and figure something out, and all that for nothing. I ended up putting a little hose through the high beam rubber, but that didn't work. Who knows, maybe I needed to use a bigger tube. What year is your 8?

maybe you should go to the dealer to see if they can replace them, it might be worth trying because they get chips, i end up sanding down my headlights and clear coating them, "perfect its an 06

Already tried that my friend. I was just out of warranty, and they wanted $1200 for one headlight.
