| Headlight lenses with major moisture issues that will not go away. there is a major amount of complaints for this. gm tells me that the bumper to bumper warrantly does not include light bulbs. this is not a bulb problem. the headlight assembly lets moisture in, but does not let it out. it gets to the point that the headlight looks like there is a bulb problem at night. the moisture blocks that much light. | |||
