driver side headlight condensation

[mightymouse402]

Hello all,

I bought some black housing headlights recently, had no problems whatsoever until today. I noticed there was a bit of condensation inside of the driver side headlight. It kind of looked like cold air was getting in somewhere but I'm not sure. It went away after I had my headlights on for a while when I would drive. Is there any way I can fix this problem?

Any helpful responses are appreciated. Thanks! =o)

The surefire way is to open the headlight and re-seal it yourself.

take the headlight off, and run a bead of clear silicone sealant.. not caulk, all the way around it, covering the entire lens seam.

can i buy the clear silicone sealant from like an autozone or something? or do i get from a hardware store?

I know any home improvement store carries it. At least the bigger ones do like Lowe's and Home Depot.

thanks for the responses guys. keep em coming if you've got anymore helpful ones, i'll probably go out and buy some silicone sealant today.

The back of the Headlights have Vents... thats how i think moisture gets into the housing so don't try to reseal it you'd be wasting your time. I found the vents when I did the Black Housing DIY and dunked the housing in a tub of water to check for any leaks and then discovered them.

i have the same issue with the driver side clear corner lens i bought off someone on this forum... im waiting untill the weather is nice and i will located the hole by putting it halfway into water and looking where water will come in, then i will use silicone like the the other guys suggested to clog it up.

Good luck!
