Moisture/condensation in retro'd lights?
1 Attachment(s)
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.

Thanks, but for how long should I keep the lights in the oven then? And what exactly are the "o" rings?:help: I will definitely seal them up!

Never mind
