havsone Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 It seems that I have some water leakage inside of my left headlight and corner lamp. It gest a "humid" look to it, and then it begins to collect moisture and water inside of it. Im really frustrated with this and Im beginning to think that i should just buy a new headlight. If anyone has any suggestions, I'll really appreciate it. Thanks!
tansupplyman Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 suggest you take them out and check. can put some silicone GREASE around where the bulb fits,etc. don't think you would like the price of new ones; check e-bay if it comes to that.
havsone Posted February 2, 2004 Author Posted February 2, 2004 checked on ebay already. theres this company that charges that $250 each! and thats cheapest ive seen. i tried putting silicone wher the glass meets the plastic, but that didnt work. youre saying to put some silicone around the area of the buld? do you think thats where the moisture might be getting in by?
UCF3 Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 If it's not the bulb hole, it's probably a leak in the seal. Take your unit out, and disconnect everything from it. If you want. you could pop them into the oven @200degrees for 5minutes. You may have to repeat the procedure a couple of times until the glue is easier to remove. Split it, and remove all of the glue sealer. Once you have, you can clean the lenses, polish, and seal it up again. That shouldn't cost you $250.
tansupplyman Posted February 3, 2004 Posted February 3, 2004 Note: not silicone at the bulb holder BUT silicone GREASE--this is a dielectric grease-
