Description of the problem | Water leaks into both of the headlights causing the inside of the lense to fog up which significantly reduces the brightness of the lights. The water eventually shatters the replaceable bulb. There is no physical damage to the headlights. I removed about 1/4 cup of water from one of the lights at one point. This has existed for about 1 year. Oldsmobile will not replace the units. *ak |
