headlight condensation tips
here in italy we had 6 days of extreme rains, almost floods :/
saturday I found condensation oh the passenger side headlight, and in addition 2-3 dirty water drops, coming from the extreme of the headlight, just near turn light and the eyebrow.
next step is to leave the rear covers opened and hope to have it dried, and change the upper gasket (completely worn). someone ever changed them? is an easy DIY? the come with a "glue" to fix to the plastic?
next: but I fear that if some water has come in, will be veeeery impossible to have it completely out/dried.
found some folks put silca gel on the lamps cover.
anyone tried it? worth it? how to fix it to avoid that can burn?

The gasket on top is easy to replace. However, dried water spots... may not be so simple. Someone made a thread about using certain solution to clean the inside of the lens, I have never tried it myself, so can't comment on that.
