Went through a car wash and now I have a little problem with the front and rear tail light. Also I backed into a car (owner does know about it) very lightly. Was on a snow hill and car slowly slipped back. No damage on his car but mine has a small dent.
Any cure for any of these problems?

i have the same in my head light and would like to know if theres a way to get out to

take them off and drill a couple small holes in the bottom of it so they are ventilated and can let the moisture out. if you "seal" them there is still a chance that theyll leak and fog up again.

FWIW, my tail lamps do the same thing. Also, my spoiler somehow lets water in but not out. When I open the trunk you can hear it slosh around.

Well there are a few options it all depends what you want to do.
You can replace them with OEM and thats kinda expensive but you can find aftermarket on ebay cheaper.
You can upgrade to the projectors, depending on who or where you go to buy them you might get the HID upgrade included....the prices have come down. The projectors are pretty good I like them.
You can remove them and bake them in the oven to separate the lens from the housing, clean them up and reseal them.
Other than that....thats all I know about.
BTW the projectors are pretty bright I have not used the hi beams in a year.
I can find the write-up for the baking method if you are interested

Dose the same go for the tail lights as the head lights to get the moisture out. Drill holes and heat.

I had the same problem. there are drain plugs on the back of the headlights, and corner housings. You don't have to drill holes. The plugs are gray, located near the bottom. I made the mistake of drilling my 1st pair. I found that the sealant was dry, and cracked around the lenses, where they seal to the housing, and that was part of the reason they were leaking. I removed the lights, and placed them face down in hot water for about 10 min. ( try not to get hot water inside. it dissolves the mirror coating). You can seal them back up with a waterproof uv resistant adhesive. I got some from Lowes, there are a few to choose from. apply a thin, even bead so it won't get on the inside of the lense, and look $h!tty. I eventually got a 2nd pair of headlights, they leaked right away. I then figured out that the sockets, or plugs were to blame, and used duct seal around the outside of every socket, and plug to stop water from getting in. You should be able to find duct seal at Lowes, in the HVAC section, or you can get it at an electrical supply store. It's a gray, clay like substance used mostly to seal holes in buildings. It's sold in 1lb bags, wrapped in white plastic. it seals good, lasts about a year, and removes clean, with no problem. It's pretty cheap, $5-10
