#762, "Moisture in Headlights"


          

Is this a cosmetic problem, or should I be worried about damage? It just started happening on one of my headlights. Is it something easily fixed?

Clint

Yeah, I've seen a lot of Eclipses and Talons with this problem, including mine. It always seems to be the driver's side light, too.

if its wet condensation then you can take out the light and blow a hairdryer in the holes to evaporate the water, then use sealant and outline the seam with it. but if the "moisture" is the dry yellowish color characteristic of the 2g-A eclipses then its permanent

Yeah, it's just water, like condensation. I guess I'll just have to pull the light out and seal it up. Thanks guys.

Cyan, I notices that on my drivers side a while ago. What sealant did you use? when the weather gets warmer I'm going to have to pull the light and fix this. Thanks.

i used something we had around the house because i was too lazy to go buy some, its called liquid nails. now, no matter what you use (silicone, hot glue, caulk, elmers..ha) either way they are all going to seal it (except mayeb the elmers) because they dry and are airtight. the only decision you have is deciding about cosmetics. the silicone will obviously dry clear for the best appearance, but if your lazy like me you really can use anything you want. also, you may check the back of your lights, it may be something simple like the bulb covers arent airtight or either they are missing the rubber rings from inside them.
