Hey guys. Some of you may have seen this post in the RX section of the site. But just cause we all live in the NorCal can anyone suggest or know how to get rid of condensation in the headlamps? I have aftermarket headlamps with angel eyes that look exactly like the stock RX lights. Thanks.

I would try and re-seal it. I just saw a thread like this a few days ago with details.

If I try to reseal it wont it seal the moisture in there? Ive heard about putting it in a oven and watch it carefully, but I dont really know how to seal it back up.

Top 3 sources for moisture:

1.The cover on the rear of the headlight assembly, which is used to change out the bulbs, should be on tight. It is also possible to mount it crooked. There should be no gap between the cover and the housing. If you leave this cover off, for sure you will get moisture.

2. Make sure the cover still has a rubber gasket and that it is not damaged or misplaced in some way.

3. The seam between the clear lens and the black rear housing can be filled with black or clear silicone. The lense is separated there when installing the angel eyes, so it is the most likely cause of the moisture penetration.

Confirm items 1 & 2 before going to #3.

Thanks for the info. But if I do fix the cover or silcone it back up. Won't I lock the moisture in there? So is there anyone of getting the moisture out. If I lock it in there the lamps will still fog up wont it?

The headlamps have moisture relief vents that let moisture out and keep water from getting in. You aren't touching those vents, just sealing other areas where water/moisture gets in.

Thanks! I will try it out. And does anyone know where or what is a good brand for HIDs?

I'm not the expert on this, but you can PM "cliffud" as he has a good deal on them for CL members.

okay. Thanks. I'll probably get a kit from ebay if he doesn't respond. MTec I believe.
