Headlight condensation :(

[Godofelru]

My new left headlight has been building up condensation for the past 2 days (since it rained and has been real muggy weather)

My right one is flawless still, so I imagine one of my seals on the lights is loose, or perhaps non existent. How can I get the water out, without serious effort and then I'm pretty sure I could re-seal it easily or one of my friends could. I just hate water in my headlights :(

you probably don't want to hear this, but... bake, pry open, let dry for a few hours, re-seal.

The seal is fine im sure, the rubber protectors are fine as well. I found the problem. Where my low beams and high beams are, the condensation is cleared, where my corner light (not too bright, dead bulb havent had time to replace yet) isn't. I found a crack on the lower side of the front of the headlight, like under it, can't see it unless you know where to look, its rather large like ____________________ that, very thin, but you can pry it open. I was thinking about replacing the bulbs then seeing if the stuff goes away like that, then using a hair dryer or something to blow air into the crack and get rid of any leftovers and then reseal it.

How do i reseal the plastic? anything special? anything work well?

may work.

putting it in the over will work. but no need to open the housing to dry it.
200 degree heat will dry the water easily :)

after it cools, you just need to glue the crack. once the light is tight and dry, it should not fog up anymore.

i used lexan sealer and if fixed mine perfect and you cant even see it cause its clear jelly like stuff

[Godofelru]

word bro, where'd you get it? I need it bad before it gets muggy out, and i get foggggyness again.

oh and by the way, the clearcoat thats on my headlight is starting to come off, anwyay to replace it? (anyone know what stuff im talking about?)

[sleepyH22]

go to a hardware store and it is clear gel and is in like a big toothpaste container and it will fix it but do it while it fully dry
