70143, Headlights are driving me nuts! Posted by EclipseHottie, Apr-04-04 10:34 PM
My lights are driving me crazy. my dad has taken them off and resealed them, and its like an hour later they are foggy again. and dang i swear they get dirtier and dirtier everytime he tries to fix them. Is there like rain-x or something for headlights, because its so foggy here at night time, i really need my lights! I searched the boards and all i find is about resealing them but we already tried that...is there any other suggestions?

If it's not the glue holding the lens to the rest of assembly then you have something else that's letting moisture in.

how is he cleaning them?
tell him to take the bulbs out, throw the assembly in the oven at 500 degrees for 5 minutes... pull them apart, clean them out.
then take some silicone and re-seal the entire length of the light. use a healthy amount of silicone too.
check to make sure that the screw off caps on the back are sealing tightly. u might wanna give a THIN layer of silicone over(not in) the opening crevis on those also. you'll be able to peel it off if you have to change your bulbs.
if that doesnt work, yoru assembly is cracked somewhere

I resealed mine but still get condensation whe I blast water on them while washing. What I did was remove one of the grey caps on the back to allow it to get some air. Has not accumulated condensation or any ill effects since.
Give it a try.

get some mothers wheel polish and polish the entire lens, the wipe clean. Repeat every 2-3 weeks.
