HELP - Removing Inside Condensation From Your Headlamps??

(1/3) > >>

Rich:
I cant believe it,

I changed my bulbs last week with some from Regal Bulbs (we get the 10% discount here) with the slightly brighter bulbs... and a touch of blue tint to them.

Yesterday, is the pouring rain, i get back to find BOTH my headlamps have condensation in... the right headlamp worser than the other.

I will post pictures tonight as im at work now.

Please please please how do you get rid of it ? :scared: :scared: :scared:

Try removing the rubber covers on the back, then running the headlamps on dipped beam
you might need to repeat the several time to dry out the healights units - once condensation free - replace rubber cover on the rear

If it happened after you have changed the bulbs, then im guessing you havnt put the rubber bungs back in it propably.  :smiley:

Should i do this when the engine is cold and turned off ?


To Joe - will check the bungs now... but i really wanted to avoid this hence im sure i made sure i put them back on properly

The more heat the better - dry's them out faster
