DIY – Fix condensation moisture in your headlights today!!
At ProTuningLab.com, we offer many aftermarket headlights and tail lights for many makes and models. Many customers purchase our headlights because their factory headlights are condensate with moisture. When your headlights are condensate with moisture, it is very dangerous to drive at night. This might burn your headlight’s light bulb, which tremendously decrease driving visibility at night.
Ever wonder how does this moisture get into your headlights? Most of the time, condensation happen when the headlights seal between the lens and the back housing is old or are not sealed properly by the factory. Follow our easy and simple steps to prevent and remove condensation for your headlights today:
Step 1: Remove the headlight
First, you will need to remove the headlights assembly for the condensate headlights. Removing and installing the headlight assembly is a quick and simple process on most cars, but the specific instructions will vary in the details from one make or model to the next.
Remove the screws, clips or bolts holding the first headlight assembly in place. These may be obvious, but to find them more easily or make sure you see them all, refer to the manual for your car.
Step 2: Defog the moisture
Place a wet towel on top of the headlights and place both headlight assemblies into a cold oven. Set the oven to 250 degrees. Watch the headlights carefully in the oven, the moisture will evaporate in around 3 minutes. When the moisture is fully evaporated, take the headlights out (watch out!! It is HOT!)
Step 3: Re-Seal it
Right after the headlights are taken out of the oven, you should push the lens and the back housing together as much as possible. If necessary, apply silicone RTV sealant and reseal the headlights. Let it stand dry and you are ready to install back the headlights.
Another option is to buy an other pair of headlights. Our aftermarket Euro headlights & projector headlights makes a great alternative of you condensate headlights
