condensation in headlight


Recommended Posts

so the weather got all cold and what-not and all of a sudden i have all sorts of water condensing on the inside of my passenger-side headlight. WHAT THE CRAP? how do i get rid of this annoyingness (without just getting a new unit altogether)?

some idiot mechanic here drills small holes in the botom. He did it to my GF sis and laws Regal.

 

Usu. there is nothing you can do about it. If you get it out...you can possibly caulk or something arrround the sides.

drilling the bulb itself will let the gasses out..

there is no way to get rid of it the reason you have condinsation is b/c the seals on the lightbulbs are wearing out. IMO your better off buying a new lightbulb b/c there is no telling when its going to go out on you now. could be tomarrow could be 6months depends on how much you use it. Just be aware that the bulb is reaching the end of its life.

this happened to me and i failed inspection beacuae of it... on mine anyways the gasket around the lens was lookse and letting water in... i went to the junkyard and got nwe ones for 30 bucks even though my buddy gave me an inspection sticker regardless : D

thats about all you could do...with it already having a bad problem. For some reason though...i would think $30 is high
