And today after washing my car I noticed the passenger side light was filled about a quarter full of water. Are my bulbs burning out because of moisture? Or is this a common thing for these lights? Also is there anything I can do to prevent them from getting moisture in them? Thanks! Mathew 98 blk E0 CSVT
