Headlight moisture problem

Hi. 2004 G35x AWD Sedan. Whenever I go through a car wash and get an underbody flush, my passenger side headlight gets water and moisture in it. Not flooded but enough to make me nervous. The driver's side is fine. Any way to check the headlight(s) frame or around the headlight to see if there are any "leaks"? What might I look for? Looks fine from the outside. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

If i were you i would remove the headlight put in the oven for 7 min on 200 degrees remove plastic. go up to auto zone buy some window caulk sealer, it comes in a caulk tube. then throw it back in the oven. i painted my headlights, and wasn't thinking right after i installed them i went to the car wash and got water in them. had to go back home take the light back apart and re seal it all over it sucked lol. just read this DIY and it will show you exactly what to do. https://g35driver.com/forums/lightin...eadlights.html

I'm totally confused about this sedan... must you really take off the bumper to get at the headlights? What the heck were the engineers thinking? And pop a headlight in the oven to reseal any leaks? WOW!!! I think I'm in over my head with this car.
