Seems as though both my headlights have excessive condensation inside the lens. I recently polished them so it became more obvious. I have had the 2012 for less than a year it definitely had some front end damage Can someone tell me if this lens is OEM? any suggestions for good replacements or things to do to keep these in service?
Drill a 1mm hole in the back of each (top of reflector) so the water can evaporate / Decades ago it was almost mandatory for all the cars I had....
Are you a gen3 hater?. I will get to those when the time comes. Right now no shaking, no oil burning, no fluid loss. May last longer than expected.
What’s the miles? see aftermarket head lights (non LED) on Amazon for about $115 USD, and genuine Toyota on Amayama are around $300 USD.
I checked my 2011 headlights this morning. Yours are like mine. I still have the OEM headlight lenses, so yours appear to be OEM.
Don't drill a hole at the top where water can get into it. There is a leak at the seal, somewhere. Using a vacuum pump would help, it will take a while though. pulling the bulbs out and using a flexible stick with a rag secured to it so you can move it around and get as much of the water out as possible, then leaving the bulbs out until it dries. Then seal along the edge where the clear part mates to the black part will keep the moisture out. Unless there is another leak somewhere.
See you can get oversized, long stalk, cotton swabs, might be good for that. The link recommends them for "gyncecology", but hey...
