Default Did Clear Corner Mod.....................BUT!

The other night I did the clear corner mod, using the oven method and everything went smooth. But when I woke up the next morning and looked and my car they were both foggy ( I live in San Francisco). So last night I decided to try again, took them apart cleaned them up really well with plastic detailer, put them back in the oven twice, pushed them back together, made sure the glue bonded well. and then finally sealed them with an apoxy seal "high temp, water proof, etc." and did not put them back on my car as of yet.


How long should I wait to put them back on my car so they stay clear.?


They seem to be sealed very well, and look brand spankin new.

everyone seems to put sealant on their lights afterwords. I just left mine in the oven for 10 minutes the last time, and the glue got all soft and completely resealed the headlight. I get no fog or condensation ever... Leaving your headlights out for a while won't cause condensation to not get in there, once the lights are sealed and dry, there is no waiting. I put mine right back in after I took them out of the oven.

WASSUP!!!
i've never posted in a while.

okay, anyway...my mod was like eric. i've just stuck my lights back on right out of the oven...they were still pretty warm. i didn't put any glue or leave the lights in the oven and i'm not getting any fog or condensation...even through a Touchless car wash.

after putting the sealer on your car, is it still getting foggy?

okay, while we're on the headlight topic, is it just my headlights or are the 2nd gen headlights pretty weak?
i also have an acura integra and there seems to be better illumination compaired to my ES.

i have tried changing the bulbs and aiming, but not much difference.
