Posted by guest, Jul-17-02 07:42 AM
If I am going to Heat Wave saturday...I am not gonna show this car with water fog in my head lights.

How do I get that out FASSST and pronto. I cant find anywhere to seal it with silicone. Hmmmm Help me plz. Thanks. It looks horrible! Lordy! It rained really hard this week and also everytime I wash the car, water somehow gets inside the lites and it fogs up.

Myke.....put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes, then with some mitts you can pull em apart, polish and clean the insides, then reseal with silicone, das about all I'd know to do, I had the same problem, it was a biatch but it worked, good luck bro

you need my big ass to come help your skinny ass over in Houston, damn boy, pull the SOB, but for real.......try putting some kinda spacer under the bolt, then unscrew it, should give it some leverage

Heat the headlights up somehow. that will dissipate the water vapor in them.. try facing your car at a fence and putting your brights on for about 10 minutes.

baaaaah, real men fix the problem, but I see your time constraint, that'd prolly be the best thing to do

Don't take them out! take the palm size screw on cups off the back and park facing the sun and/or turn on your bright lights or use a hairdryer. My lights were fogged when i bought my car and a guy at the bodyshop just told me to let them breathe and i still have the caps off and i haven't had moisture in them ever since.
26802, MAJOR update...and HOUSTON 2GNT read...Im missing a tool....

take the cups off dawg? u sure? how the bulbs gonna stay in? thanks....

(good idea...hope it works?)


Well today after work I didnt have time to mess with it yet...i WAS gonna put in some new plugs but either ARD, Dino, or Jason has my long socket extension, as I seemed to be missing it. I instead put on my new battery terminals, and resprayed my interior...and repainted all/any chip marks and the carpet is black again....I will do the visors white, and MITE do the passenger airbag cover white too, and then I got an idea for vinyls on my back window to hide the jagged messed up back window tint...I am almost ready!!!

Gotta finish up with the valve cover and some other peices under the hood, and figure out something about my seats...and I should be ready for Heat Wave... *crosses fingers...

Ya I can take pics soon...the interior is a little different ;-)

Yeah I used a hairdryer on my driver side after an accident broke the seal. :-( I just turned it on low so as not to melt anything, and took out both caps to let the hot air in an evaporate. Then try to see where the seal is broken and fix it.

the bulbs are held in by a clip that won't come out unless you want it to. Also, just leave your car in sunny weather or turn your brights on.
