TroyLexus Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Not to sure about this, maybe an OBVIOUS question I dunno. Can I purchase the headlight assembly, and put my old bulbs in ? or does the headlights, and bulbs always come together ? Otherwise anyone have suggestions for headlights with moisture in them ?? I was thinking about just buying the headlight assembly, but not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 They don't come with bulbs, the bulbs are attached to the wiring harness and will plug into the new assembly. Have you priced the assembly? Its almost $400 wholesale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyLexus Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yes, I'm not too thrilled about the price, is there any way to get the "fog" out of the assembly ? That's my only reasoning behind this... 2004 ES330 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbhrps Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 TroyLexus, Over the years I've had one car (can't even recall which make or year) that developed moisture in one headlight. I removed the entire assembly from the car and used my wife's hair drier to blow warm air into the bulb socket openings. I recall that it took quite a while to evaporate all of the water out. I verified that the assembly was crack free and that water wasn't getting into any openings. (I may have even silicone sealed one seam in the rear I think.) Regardless, I let the unit cool down before reinstalling it in the car. I don't believe that the problem reoccurred. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try that, and post the results for anyone interested., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh vxc wolfkid Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Are you sure it is moisture, not plastic "fogging"? My headlights seemed to have moisture issues but I polished the lenses with a Plast-x kit and got 90% of the original clarity back. Unless you're sure it's moisture its better than ripping anything apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
