Moisture in Clear Lights?
Moisture in Clear Lights?
Ive got clear after market lights and I get moisture build up in them and they look ****ty. I thougt about some rubber hose around where the light goes in to keep out moisture. Any ideas? Solutions?
Water water everywhere!
First you have to find where it's leaking, try this (we are talking about the headlights right?)
Pull it all apart and fill the light pod with water (trust me)
Then empty the water out and put an air line from a compessor into the hole at the back and seal it up with your hand.
The pressure in the light will start to push the air out the holes and you should be able to see the leak (bubbles) around the seams of the light.
If there is a leak seal it up with a light coat of RTV or Goop. If you can't find a leak it may be the seal at the back of the light, if so change your bulbs
That's what I used to do with my Mustang anyway, let me know if it works

I've had everything from Dodge dakota's, F150's, Mustangs that have had moisture in the headlights at one point. The best way that I've found was to drill a tiny...tiny....tiny hole upwards all the way through the lens. AND I MEAN A VERY VERY TINY HOLE. Do this on inconspicuous area. My past experiences showed that it gives the moisture a way to escape, and I've never had a problem with water getting back in through the hole. It's usually best perfomed in hot weather as it doesn't take the moisture to dry out as long. Just my .02
