My passenger side headlamp keeps on fillin up with condensation and it's doin my head in!! I did a search and it said needs resealin ? I haven't smoked them there completely standard and neva been removed so why would seal be broken? Also took bulb out used hair dryer to get rid of the condensation but it just comes back -.-

I suppose over a period of time the seal would break down due to heat & then leak.

do halo/angel eye headlights suffer much with this?

Reseal with silicone. You can get rid of the moisture with a hair dryer (take the bulb out before doing that so the moisture has a chance to escape)

my rear headlights do this, i think its just because of the cold, it disappears when it gets warmer i didn't think anything of it

check the seals on the back of the lights are all good too, mine did this when one of the rubber seals had cracked slightly
