Moisture in Headlights

[RVA_ZR2]

27,000 miles and have my first ever complaint with the ZR2: moisture in my headlight casings. Everything works, just looks bad and can’t be good in the long run. Anyone seen this issue before on these rigs? Usually I dont see it in any vehicles less than 20 years and 200k old!

Get them replaced under warranty.

Sometimes just pointing into the bright sun can evaporate it, but if it stays for a long time it can lead to photo etching in the plastic, which won't look good and will cloud the lens.

Should be warranty, but it'll be interesting to see if they come through. That's the kind of shit you see on those ChiNa specials on Ebay.

True...but if moisture got in, that's a bad sign there is a breach in the seal and that it must be replaced.

I would pursue warranty, hit an owl and blew a hole in my driver side headlight assembly and just the part is $1300 through GM.

And it took the dealer right at a month to even get one…pending installation now.

I cracked my taillight yesterday backing my trailer up. Looks like that'll set me back about $350. They say there is a $50 core charge too. A couple websites show inventory, but want to make sure I get the right one from local dealer. That's the price of not paying attention.

It's like every other scratch, the first one is always painful. Thank God that was my third time I've damaged something.

I did the same thing on my previous rig but it didn't cost much cause they weren't LED.

We can try our hardest to stay out of trouble, but eventually, no matter how hard you try, Murphy will catch up to you every now and then, good luck AXE getting the repair done as painlessly as possible.
