harrydunn Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Got the Blazertech 2600 driving lights in and they look great (eBay $13.00 plus shipping). I do have one question. On the bottom side of each lens housing there are two small holes which would let water, etc. directly into the lens housing. This doesn't thrill me a great deal since that's how my stock fogs crapped out (crack letting water in). Should I fill these holes in with something? I wouldn't think they are for vent purposes. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrydunn Posted November 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I guess I'm thinking having a hole there will allow for condensation with heat and humidity in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john99gtp Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 are the 2600s the fogs or driving lights??? how hard was it to put in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoStudd Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 As long as you have the holes pointed down, gravity will take care of the "moisture problem" ... You figure that when the lenses are cold, no matter how well they're sealed up, as soon as you turn on the lights, BAM, lense starts to heat up and moisture starts to form. That moisture has to have somewhere to go, and it's better to have it drain out than to keep it bottled in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrydunn Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Putting them in tomorrow night. That link will help out immensely with the bracket fitting. Should be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 There were holes? I didn't see any holes on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckethead Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 those holes are there to let moisture come out. Just so long as they are on the bottom, they shouldn't be a problem. I thought the same thing on my old pilot driving lights and tried to fill them in with silicone, it just made moisture worse, because it couldn't escape.

harrydunn Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Yep, two very small holes on both ends. Not very noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Moff Joseph Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 so, do these fogs require an additional button to turn on, or do they wire into the main headlight switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrydunn Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 If you have existing fogs you can wire them directly up to your factory switch. Otherwise, you'll have to run all new wiring and mount into their switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TurboSedan Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 well i read the other post about this and wanted to add to the part about solder/shrinkwrap. do yourself a favor and buy a Bernzomatic pen torch! these things KICK ASS for soldering wires together and also heating the shrinkwrap around the wire after the connection is made. i couldn't even imagine using a soldering gun to do any wire-to-wire solder connections. soldering guns are for circuit boards! i've used my Bernzomatic pen torch to install my boost and A/F gauges, install my stereo, fix wiring harnesses, UB3 cluster upgrade, and basically any soldering that has to do with splicing wires together. the only time i've ever used my soldering gun is when i fixed my keyless entry reciever (circuit board). the Bernzomatic pen torch is only like $10 from the hardware store and it's an invaluable tool IMO 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
