    Hi everyone,

    My '02 GT has the common problem of clouded/moisture filled headlights. I've figured out how to get them out & where to get replacement headlight housings, but i'm wondering--if i just replace the housings with the old sockets and washers still being used, i suspect they're still going to leak (I'm betting the moisture is getting in where the sockets go into the housing). So, when i order the new headlight housings, I'd like to order new sockets/washers/wiring for each housing, such that everything downstream of the main wiring harness at each headlight location is new (so all the short wires on the back of the headlight housing that serve the individual bulbs, as well as the individual bulb sockets and washers would be new). Does anyone know where to buy new wiring/sockets/washers for each headlight? Any thoughts are much appreciated.

    Thanks

    I was just thinking that the seals around the sockets seal the only openings in the housing, so it's probably those gaskets failing that's letting the moisture in
