Ok everone heres a cheap way to keep that water out of your headlights. Your going to need a face towel, and a plastic bag... Pop the hood place the plastic bag on top of the headlight, making sure to cover the hole top area of the light. Stuff some of the bag in the water channel on the side of the light. You want to stop the water channel from funneling the water to the headlight. Place the towel on top of the plastic, and close the hood. This will hold it in place. After closing the hood you should still see the edges of the towel, and plastic bag. After your wash remove them both. You will notice a lot of water build-up in the towel, and trapped by the plastic bag. There you have it !!!! No water reached the headlight so no condensation....Hope this works as well for you all as it has 4 me.

P.S. I used this trick at the car wash, but should work at home also.....

 

I'm sure that works well, but have you tried sealing at least the top edge of the light where the lens meets the housing with silicone? I think you will find this helpful.......and Welcome to CL

 

[QUOTE=SWSC400]Next time you are feeling big and want to address me, use the PM like the forum rules state. Showing out only has one outcome.

 

I remember this being posted once before. Someone else was going about this method.

 

But wouldnt this deviate from the initial problem? For example are you going to do this when it rains, or rains really hard??

 

doesn't drilling your headlights deviate from the initial problem? "I have a leak, so I am going to make more holes" ?

 

Check, but not mate, true it does deviate, but after so many attempts to plug the damn thing up completely to restrict air flow, i just about gave up on keeping it sealed, so like some others said i opened it up so no condensation forms, and if it does, it will dry quicker because of more holes ....i think....

 

Not saying anything against it, just thought it was a funny statement all things considered

 

Glad we both agree, i drift in and out of my own arguments, know where that quote is from.... ? hehe

 

funny i never noticed the drivers side being cloudy too much... then it hit me when you said battery... thats the passenger side... oh silly me.

How long do new lights last before they start doing the same thing?

 

[QUOTE=O. L. T.]Well here is your quote from the last line of the PM that I DID send you BEFORE you made this statement:

PM responses will be deleted.

So, this is very confusing this tells me this would be the only way to post a reply to you.
