Well i bought some black Harley edition headlights for my 07 Scab. working out great until about 3 days ago, it has been pouring in my town for about a week an i have just started to notice some condensation in the driver side headlight. i looked for cracks or broken seals an have yet to find one.

Any help or sugestions?

im gonna say that if you bought them off ebay for cheap they dont have a good seal around the edge of it, you should have run a seal of silicone aorund the edge of it....

SethP

you think i should heat them up an reseal them with some silicone?

ford4wd08

yea that will prob help alot

SethP

ford4wd08

yea just check that everything is tight and has a good seal, after that you should be good

I have aftermarket headlights as well and whenever I get aftermarket lenses for any of my cars, I always heat them up in the oven (220 degrees for 8 minutes), take them apart, and then re-seal them. After they cool down, I run an extra bead of clear silicone caulk (sp) around the whole thing. Whenever I do that, I never have a problem. I know it's some extra work, but I hate having foggy headlights.

Make sure they are vented also and that the vent isn't clogged.

anyone ever tried to just drill a small hole out in the lowest part of the headlight? Does it work?

i think bucko did it a pair of lights he had, or someone did, maybe they will chime in later on, i would rather have a good sealed light then one with a small hole in it
