Hey guys I was just woundering is condensation normal in headlights?

 

Not at all. You probably have a seal issue somewhere. Check the back of your headlights for any damage or loose fittings.

 

Go to the top of this forum and click on Search This Forum and enter condensation. There are over a hundred threads on the subject.

 

Ok thanks I had just painted my headlights.I guess I didn't seal it right thanks again

 

Everything looks good no loose fittings to.is there any way of checking the seal before I put my car together?I really dnt want to pull It apart again.

 

I ran into the same problem when I painted mine.

Take my advice. You'll avoid a ton of headache if you just rebake them, open them back up, take a tube of silicone and reseal it.

 

Do you have to take of the old silicone?and if you do what's the best wey to do it?

 

No you should not have to remove it if you reheat it. It should liquify when it's warm. Run a new bead of silicone all around the channel with the lens off, press the lights together, insert the screws, smooth out the new silicone with your finger, and fill any gaps. I would recomend you masking tape off the lenses so you don't get silicone on them, and keep a wet rag or alcohol wipe handy for cleanup.

 

Ok thanks guys for the advice.

 

Ok I'm sorry I also wanted to ask is the rainbow effect normal when painting headlights? Is it permanant?thanks in advance.
