condensation buildup in lens
I've always had a build up of condensation in the front clear lens area(running light/turn signal) I know how condensation happens, warm in cold out, but this never goes away, any thoughts?

You could remove the lens, dry them them out, then reseal the seams of the lens with silicone. My wife has a Maxima and I put clear F/R sidemarkers on it. Had condensation, then resealed them. Condensation went away. Cheap and worth a shot.

This may sound backwards but I've had this problem with most of my newer headlights. Sealing it is impossible. Water vaper will get in every time the lamp heats up and then cools down causing a lower pressure in the headlight than outside sucking in moist air. The key is venting. I drilled a 1/32" hole in the bottom of the assembly and this cured the problem for ever. Be well all.
