Obviously you should wait for the headlights to dry out before you swap the covers but you get the point.
Got it.. its the first time I open it. Probably never open before. I should do it before winter comes..

Edit:
Do you think its more of cover or reseating the bulb. i dont think theres any other way a bulb can be put in..
I order the covers. should I just take the old cover off and let it dry or take the bulbs out also.

Thanks, I rarely do swaps
