My headlights have got moisture on the inside and are not in the best shape.
I realise new headlights cost a bomb, but am willing to spend it to get the car looking its best.
Does the moisture build up over time or would it be more likely there is a issue and if i was to replace with new ones, would they soon suffer the same fate?
Any advice welcome

Original headlights will cost you around 500 a piece... do what I and a few others have done and convert some aftermarket ones to bi-xenon

Put some moisture absorbing silicone bags in the rear covers of the lights (the little bags you get in shoe boxes), it's a trick the Alfa boys do, as the suffer quite badly with misty lights, but first remove the main beam bulb and blow a hair dryer in the back, to dry them out.
