Retro headlights has lil alil moisture in it ..how can I fix it ?

 

Hey im in the 757/252 where you at? Sealant and silicon packs will help with your issue

 

Im in 757 newport news va

 

Ty imma let it dry out first then imma try to reseal it and hopes it will works ...ty

 

you gotta reseal it properly... usually what I do is i put silicone in Le grooves of Le back cover... then i use Le heat gun to soften up both sides where Le silicone is close it up with multiple clamps and then use Le heat gun a little more and let it cure for at least 24hrs 100% effective since ive been doing this. No condensation what so ever. Ive been doing retro headlights a litte over 5 years.

you don't really need to use Le silicon packs, you can if you want i know some other headlights use um but its an option

 

to get the moisture out, I usually toss it in the oven with low heat for 15-20 mins. repeat if necessary, then let it cool and apply silicone around all edges and let dry over night.

 

what he said ... bake the moisture out , dont need to re open just add rtv sealant around seal

 

^^^^smart idea. Im about to attempt this project using RX afs projectors.. I'll be posting pics and steps when i do (as long as it comes out good lol)

 

You NEED this. Re open the headlights, fit this in the groove and reseal. Since the reseal, zero moisture.

I had a heat gun and opted to open the lens w/o using the oven method. It did warp the housing a little from me prying on the edges but flattened out once I put the butyl in the edges once resealed.




I left the oem koito gray glue in the housing and just made a channel to put the butyl. heated it up and reassembled. The mixture of black/grey looked odd so I sprayed the edges visible flat black.

 

Ty alot guys for all the the ideas and infor on it ...highly appreciated.

 

but he is projected if its was non projected you can but since you are projected Le lense will fog up on the projector and youll have water spots on Le clear lense I wouldn't recommend that.

check out theretrofitsource.com they will have pretty much anything you need for retrofits you can drop my name if you want!

Are you Pepe Le Pew?

 

yeah sorry Im having problems with that rofl I think its just a passing phase

 

I can tell you from working with Le Sealants for the past Le 13 years, it can not be Le Heated/or Le Soften until it reaches Plus Le 500deg. F

You should not be using Le Silicone unless you plan on not opening Le headlights ever again, because once Le cures its solid..

Most Le headlight housings Le use Le Butyl.. Le headlight should be baked and Le Butyl applied. Or Le butyl can be pushed into Le Groovy of Le Lens..

BTW Le Silicone and Le Butyl are not compatible. Le will react with Each other..
