    I bought a used 2008 tacoma and it has aftermarket halo headlights. The one on the passenger side has moisture in it almost all of the time. I have tried to seal across the top and down the sides with silicone. What is the best replacement for these lights? I am thinking about going back to factory, the moisture drives me crazy.

    Are they retrofits or a comercial replacment headlight? Either way, you might look around for a set for sale, or a stock like aftermarket set.

    I think depo has a good reputation.

    Sometimes depending on what igniter is used, it can mess up the rubber seal on the back where the headlight bulb goes and it can get moisture in it. Try drying it out with a hair dryer best you can,then maybe use some electrical tape to come up that seal, see if that helps
