Water in your head lamps Options

[devilsden97]

ok so like a week ago i got super brights for my high beams. After replacing the bulbs i put them in and turned them on. There AWSOME! Then it rained like HELL for 2 days. I then found out that i had water in my passenger side high beam. ( i actually had it in the plastic case, with the lens) IT was only a little like condensation.

Resolution: I removed the lamp, and got out my hairdryer. I heated the front of the lamp, until all the water evaporated away. I left the lamp open overnight so that the water would exit the bezel via the lamp hole.

An easy fix to an annoying problem.

there should be a little rubber hose on the back of the headlight, in the shape of an L. i was always wondering what that was for but maybe it was to allow ventilation inside the headlight housing so as to prevent condensation? i think it is, anyway, you might want to make sure if you have that.

i have a spare set of headlights at home so i can take a pic and post it if you want.. PM me.

or maybe even (if you're willing to go through the trouble) to remove the entire headlight unit and immerse it in water gradually, starting from the lens, to find where the leak is coming in from.. if there is one. that way you can seal the crack or hole if you find one. although i've never done this before so you're at your own risk.
