“I have an exceptionally large amount of moisture in the passenger headlamp assembly. I've had it checked at 3 different body shops, including a Lincoln one here in tulsa. All 3 shops couldn't figure out where the moisture is coming from. I have seen this on a couple of other Lincoln mkss. On the other automobiles that I have seen their peers to be no damage anywhere as is the case with mine. My concern is the moisture is going to get to the bulb or get bulb socket and cause of to short. …”
