Noticed some moisture building up on my headlights this morning... Only thread I see on this was a warranty replacement from a 2020 newer cherokee. Any advice on what I should do about this?

Thanks!

Seeing as though those look like sealed beams, I think a replacement is the only option. I'm not in the US, but I don't think they cost much!

What he said. They are sealed (well, not any more). You'll need to replace them. They are like $15 at Autozone for a "basic" and $28-ish for Silverstars.

I would change them both even if the other is good. When one fails, they other may not be far behind.

That happened to me a few years back...I contacted sylvania customer support, explained how they were wet inside with no apparent holes in the front glass and they sent me 2 new ones.

Still contact customer support...a free pair is always good to have on the side if you catch a rock or something
