    Title. Truck is a 2018 OR. Never been an issue until yesterday morning when I noticed that both headlights looked like a terrarium rainforest. Any ideas? Haven't touched the bulbs in over 2 years, so I don't think its those seals unless they both went simultaneously somehow.

    Thanks in advance.

    You think? Weird that it happened at the same time. Planned obsolescence? Lol

    probably temperature/humidity fluctuations causing the orings to expand and contract

    They really don’t build things like they used to.
