or if it's small (like a watch) you can put it on the vents of your PC monitor... that thing blows warm, dry air all day long...

kinda like donkey (just seeing if he's paying attention )

Actually, they're called moth *****. At least, that's what I put in my closet.

What you want to use on your headlights is some silicon gel. I bought some tail light replacement for my Max and it came with it.
