Tacoma Headlight Water Spots: Your Experiences and Solutions?

Last year, I helped a friend put a Miller Cat skid plate on his Tacoma. It took us about 30 minutes to do it by ourselves, even though it was an easy one-man job. Probably because of the beer breaks we had in between, haha. We started off by lifting the truck. We then took off the weak cardboard piece with a wrench, put the skid plate in place, and fixed it tightly. That was it. The steps are as straightforward as this, and we only used simple tools. Pictures below are from last year after his installation. Tomorrow, I'm set to help another friend set one up on his Tacoma, the same easy way. I've done it before, and I'm eager to see his truck get that tough bottom cover. The Miller Cat's strong build is great for trail-ready Tacomas, and I know he's really excited to nail this install, because it'd be his first DIY mod too.

Has anyone seen wet spots or fog in their headlight covers? I used to see some fog and water spots in my Tacoma's headlights some months ago.

At first, I thought, is this a usual thing, a factory error, or maybe water getting in somehow? Heard other owners say they have this same problem too, and I want to share a fix that might help if anyone needs it.

One fix is to check the headlight seals and make sure they fit right. If the problem stays, try taking out the headlight, dry it with a hairdryer on low heat, and use a silicone sealant around the edges to stop water from getting in, which helped me.

If it’s because of a factory fault, talking to your dealer or the headlight maker for a warranty replacement might be the best choice. Either way, there’s a fix for it, just in case anyone is having this trouble too.
