Hi,

Water has leaked into the headlight and causes the bulb to burst. Is there a way to get the water out and then seal the headlight to prevent the future leakage? A technician said it would be $240 for the parts to replace the headlight. I would like to try and fix it myself.

Thank you.

youll have to find where the leak is and seal it with epoxy and hope it works.
