Condensation in the headlight?

Condensation in the headlight?

Postby sgunitkc » Tue Mar 28, 2006 4:47 pm

Does anybody have the problem of having condensation inside the headlight casing? For some reason only my right headlight has condensation inside. Thanks.

if you have not had any accidents, this should just go away on its own as weather warms. or try using your night time lights to try and warm inside to evaporate. sometimes, moisture just builds up in there and is not much of an issue.

f u want to go the hard wayif this continues, bake open your headlight of use a heatgun, open it up and reseal it with clear silocone sealan. mak sure you clamp it together very tight during the drying process.

Uh, I would take it to the dealer if you still have any warranty left. They should replace it.

If don't, you can buy those sillica packets and stick them in there to try and absorb the moisture.

If your headlight is leaky, I dont think its going to get any better. Every time it rains your headlight is going to get water in it.

i heard some dude was using a heat gun to evaporate moisture and it blew up in his face. cant really imagine that could happen but i remember hearing that once and he must have been really heating it and there must have been alot of moisture in it. just fyi, dunno if true....
