Default Water drops inside headlight lense cover

The headlight bulb got changed on the X, and now there is water drops on the inside of the lense cover after a wash. Any ideawhere the water is getting in? Or what needs to be tightened.

Thanks guys

Chances are if it wasn't leaking before the bulb change...check to make sure that the back cover was reinstalled properly. I had this problem when I changed my bulbs a few pair of bulbs ago. I was pretty confident that the back (metal clip closest to the fender) wasn't latched properly. I checked it and just took it off and reinstalled it and haven't had the same problem since the problem back in the fall. Good luck! If you don't know how to do it let me know I'll take some step-by-step pictures for ya if needed!

Maybe if you put a little oil on the top of your hand and arm, it might slide through the holes you need to get your arm into to get to the headlight cover.

Some lube on the arm would probably keep you from getting some bloody arm and hands but be carefull with that oil and the bulb...wouldn't hurt to have some lube to slide in and out!
