QX56 water in headlamp

[drbrucewayne]

Hey everyone first post here on the forum. I appreciate any input you can give me. My right headlamp has water in it after it rains and I believe there must be a crack or seal that has come loose. The water will not come out until about 2- 4 weeks with no rain. But there always seems to be a little bit of a haze in the headlamp itself. The dealership quoted for a new xenon headlamp for about 8 to 900 dollars! I was wondering if anyone else had this problem and might know of a way to seal it back up or other options I could try. Anything would be helpful, not really looking to spend that kind of money on a headlamp. Thanks!

You'll have to take the headlight out, pop it open, remove old sealant/silicone, clean inside with a lint less rag, put new sealant/silicone, and assemble back your headlight.

Rob, is it easy to "pop open" the headlamp once removed? Is there a certain sealent or silicone you recomend? Thanks for your help!
