Hey guys, i just did the DIY project to paint my housings black this past saturday. Everything looked good when we were done, and we even put extra silicone around the seams of the housing. And today i noticed moisture is building in the housings. So what should i do guys? Put MORE silicone around the housing? On top of the silicone i already put? is there anyway to know where its leaking?

ps one of my front turn signal bulbs blew out, and i went to all the autoparts stores in town and none of them had any replacement bulbs. Well they had some but they were just clear, no one has em in amber. Am i supposed to get em at the dealership? What size are they exactly?

 

?

 

reseal the housings

not a clue on the bulb size, but I'm sure the stealership has them

 

Is there condensation inside the lights, or are they leaking water when it rains or you wash the car?

 

Dont they have a normak ''gap'' behind them to allow air to freely circulate???

 

well i washed my car, but i didnt see condensation until the next day. But its more then just fogged up headlights, its almost as if i see water running down the lens on the inside. What should i use to get rid of this before sealing up? SHould i use a blowdryer thru the holes when i take out the bulbs to dry it up?

 

same thing happened to me, i dont see how leaving a gap would do anything but allow more condensation. if they were completely sealed nothing could get in. ive done this to other headlights without problems. im going to take mine back apart when im not feeling so lazy again.

 

I have the same problem but I'm also lazy it's a pretty big project and I don't want to do it again. I also heard something about a pin hole somewhere to circulate air.



Sorry about the photo it's the aftermath of WILMA thank god to trees fell on her

LOOKS SWEET THOUGH

 

what kind of silicone do you use, damn my shiets fawked UP, one of my headlights has some serious straight rainforest type humidity in there all of a sudden one of my headlight projectors go out, bulb looks same anyone know the problem i heard it was the temperature i the lens housing?

 

I used skiaflex. I took the blinker bulb out and it cleared up after a day or so. Also it’s been raining and I haven’t had any new problems yet, maybe you do need that pin hole for air circulation
