The headlights leak I had to replace one about $450 because it had water in it. The passenger side now has water in it I will have to replace it also. The vehicle only has 25,000 miles I would think in this day and age you could make a headlight assembly that does not leak and become a safety hazard. The passenger headlight in Dec 2016
