Water in high beams Options

[CastrolCelica]

There is water, large droplets, on the inside of the clear plastic of my high beams. My low beams are fine, but I really have no idea what this is happening to both of my high beams at once. Were these put on wrong by someone and so water is getting in? Did I wash my car in a way that it naturally got in?

Thanks for the help in advance guys. I really, really do appreciate it.

I had this in one low beam and many other members have as well. If the housing isn't cracked then it's a pin size gap in the lens seal. Unfortunately there's only two fixes. One you can try permatex flow able silicone. It's not like regular silicone in that you can start it at the top of the lens and let it run down the sides between the glass & housing. It's designed to find and fill any gap it runs across. I used it on one headlight and it found the gap I couldn't see. Of course if the gap is at the very bottom it probably won't work. The only other way to fix it permanently is to remove the lens and reseal it with new silicone. Which means removing the bumper cover and taking the headlight out. Put the headlight face down in a stock pot with boiling water. It sounds drastic, but it works well. After the lens heats up enough you can easily pull the lens off the housing without any damage. Then just clean out the crappy factory seal and put a new thick bead of good silicone and let it dry. I had to do this to the same low beam after the lens got hit by a rock. I got a replacement housing that was junk, but the lens was good so I just swapped it for the cracked one and have never had a problem since. Major pain, but I wouldn't even put a good used housing in without at least using the Permatex because it's no fun taking the bumper cover off to get to the housings if there is a leak! You'll find this same procedure in the how to section. Good luck!
