thanks alot man ,
nice civic man.
You would do the same to the back lights ?
I have a big problem with moisture and water in my backlights..
holy shit that’s genius
Thnx alot
JUST TAKE THE HEADLIGHT OFF, PUT IN TO THE TRASH CAN AND PUT A NEW ONE
,THIS IS WASTE OF TIME .
i found out that its faster and cleaner using masking tape or painters tape
to tape the area where you don’t want silicone to stick and just apply the
without the needle. Scrape off the excess with your finger and remove the
tapes.
Trash it out get new one
Lol I have this problem too. Im going to try this on the weekend. Worse
comes to worse, I end up dropping a paycheck on a new assembly. I dont have
an air compressor, so would a hair dryer work? Also, I have a black car and
I am afraid that white silicon would end up looking like hammered dogshit.
Would it matter if I get a black silicon based sealant instead?
just REMOVE the light? yeah, that’s easy. Not.
I own a pontiac grand am 94 and the orginal head lights have nvr gone out
its about to be 2014 BUILT TO LAST! I like how it takes too sec to change
the bulb on my old shit if the headlight did go out pop the hood unclip
unscrew bad bulb insert new done dont even need 1 tool.
It’s a bunch of crap that you would have to do this, bad design, and
workmen ship. I fought this problem in the past.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
This should work for a mazda 3 sp? Mine keeps fogging up every time I wash
it or when it rains alot.
Sorry, but that is not silicon caulk, but a clear latex caulk. It comes out
white, drys clear. I would use clear silicone caulk, as latex will break
down faster.
You can buy syringes to feed baby birds at many pet stores. They don’t have
a needles so you don’t have to worry about unforeseen accidents (like kids
running out of the house to see what you’re doing).
Thank you for the video. I have one foglight that has condensation in it.
I’m going to seal both of them tho.
Did sealing that headlight with silicone actually work? Has there been no
more moisture buildup inside the headlight????
good thinking
Fucking awesome.
yup…she’s turbo:)
Wow, helped heaps. Definitely going to get this done to my girlfriends
supra headlights! Cheers!
My friend, I thought I’m insane….. but you, no comment !!!! 🙂
Thanks…and nope on the parts!
Awesome video, thanks. I know this wont seal the light but for a quick fix
can you just take out the bulb and use a blow dryer to dry it out?
How do can you get the condensation out of the headlight of a 2003 Mustang
GT. Any ideas or suggestions.
I know! Lol, how cool. It looks just like my meat marinade injector. You
can look for them on Amazon.
@Mike Mccool
if you take out the headlight out to leave it out in the sun or just air
dry in a warm place, does the water leave any water spots inside the
headlight?
It Blows! No pun intended:)
In my experience which has been several headlight repair jobs…. 100%
satisfaction….But I can’t guarntee your repair… check out my website
(link in the discription) …it does give you the steps to be sure your
headlight needs to be sealed…. later
Thanks bud… the songs called “kitty in the window” by Podington Bear
Thanks. I actually tried sealing one of them to compare – putting bead
around plastic lens. It looks like it’s done the job, compared to the other
one. Now if I’d only used silicone that wasn’t so old it will not dry. lol
Did this work, permanently? My turn signal housing keeps getting
condensation on inside, and it had actually filled up over time, to reach
the bulb. It looks like the seals are fine, and only has openings for light
sockets. I’m not sure if a seal will stop condensation (caused by
temperature differences inside and out of light). Thought about drilling a
vent, and/or a drain. Def. not spending $400 on new lights.
I heard u can do it by drilling a small hole in the headlight
how old is that car?!
sweet slipstreams 😉 nice vid
You’re using N
how does the pencil works does it suck in the water or blows out like a
hair dyer

Well if you don’t have a leak then all you need to do is get the moisture
out, you can try pulling the bulbs on a warm day and see if it evaporates.
If that doesn’t work then I have the air pencils available on my site but
you will need a compressor:)
Where did you get the needle from?
All that just to take the lenses off? And people wonder why I hold onto my
24 year old car…
If my headlight is HID, does this technique still apply? Or do I need to
also replace the ballast? Not a car person whatsoever but if doing this can
save me
