MY HEADLIGHT HAS CONSTANT CONDENSATION CAUSING THE BULB TO BURN OUT. SUCH POOR VISIBILITY I WAS FORCED TO LOWER HEADLIGHTS AND DRIVE WITH BRIGHTS ON JUST TO SEE THE LINES ON THE ROAD. I DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO AVOID DRIVING AT NIGHT. MY SON WILL VISIT ME EVERY OTHER WEEK AND PUT A HAIR DRYER ON IT TO REMOVE THE MOISTURE. *TR
