I had to replace the the plastic or glass housing of my headlight on the passenger side. Also the bulb. It (housing) was too loose. I believe the bulbs were not being held as secure as they could have been and were getting a bit wet. Also the glass or plastic was very dirty. The light was dim. It is brighter now. The dimness was not why we changed the housing. Bulbs too often burnt out from rain, was I think the reason.
