Default Fish inside my headlight!

Not really, but there was water and algae in there making it cloudy. 89 240, took the assembly out and the leaky lens off, cleaned everything out. There are 3 small holes on the bottom front of the lens. not chips from stones, they look drilled or molded. About 1/16" dia. Think that is a designed in detail or someones attempt to drain the light? Thanks in advance. Dave

Probably drilled for drainage-I've done it. There is also a factory vent but it's not on the bottom, it's in the middle by the bulb entry.

Ted- yeah I thought maybe drilled, just like I drilled both of my tail lights. I think I'm gonna seal the perimiter and fill those drill holes with clear RTV, put it back together. Guess a vent is good as long as it dosent let rain water in. D
