Moisture/condensation in retro'd lights?
Hi, so I just installed some halos in my headlights and I have been making threads due to wiring issues/questions but, I have recently noticed that there is some major condensation/ moisture in my headlights. Does anybody know how I can get rid of it for cheap but without ruining the halos that are also inside? I was wondering if heat could work, with an electronic heater? Any recommendations?I really don't want to reopen them though.

Be careful with heat like that. If you want a quick way to dry them out, put them in the oven, 125-150 degrees.
After they're dry and cooled, silicon seal those babys up. One must ALWAYS seal up aftermarket lights.

Make sure to check the “O” rings for the bulb holders too for good seal..

If you're not comfortable with heat maybe something like the link below. Saw them a while ago on TRS website. Not sure how well they would work.

With whatever method you use to get them dried up, make sure that afterwards you re-seal the housings. I just sealed up a set of Spec-D aftermarket last weekend and with all the rain this week, no condensation. I applied the clear RTV sealant and then let cure for about a day and half before I went and installed them on the truck. As others have already stated, look at the bulb o rings as well to make sure that they are seated correctly as well.
