    Stock headlights as far as I know. I just bought the truck about 3 weeks ago or so.

    Thanks! It wasn't perfect but next time will be better!

    Careful on blaming the "cheap ass seal" on the headlight housing. Believe it or not, the OEM seal rarely leaks. (Aftermarket housings on the other hand leak pretty regularly.) If you all of a sudden had that much water appear in a housing, I'd suspect another cause.

    As far as I know, it's an oem headlight. Shows wear that I would attribute to 96k (which is when I purchased the truck). So oem or not, the seal leaked. I had condensation in the headlight since I purchased the truck, just happened to not notice it when I bought it because.......get this......it wasn't raining.

    Thanks man. I've already put it to work too....Delivered my first cord of wood. Took 2.5 trips. Calculated that the bed carries 50.5 cubic feet filled to the top of the sides. So exactly 2.5 beds for 128 cubic feet!

    Rained last night. No a drop of condensation inside the headlight. Woo hoo. Fingers crossed. Pic of the right headlight for comparison.

    Yesterday I got some Valvoline Dex III ATF and sucked out all the old power steering fluid. Had to take a utility knife and enlarge the hole slightly. I was careful not to have any pieces fall in and cut out the material in one piece.

    The old fluid was nasty looking for sure and smelled burnt. My buddy says that ATF smells burnt but since it's raining out today I haven't gone out yet to sniff the new stuff.

    Pretty easy job, just used a turkey baster to suck out the fluid, filled back up, started the car, locked the wheel left and right 3 times each, sucked out the fluid again, filled against, locked again, sucked it out one last time, filled, and locked the wheels again to bleed.

    Old fluid
