moisture in my clear lens
moisture in my clear lens
happen to anyone else? I got mine off of E-bay. had them on for about a month and moisture got in between the lens and the housing on my rear driver side. taking a closer look at it, i saw that the seal wasnt done very well. i had to drill a tiny hole to get the water out, and then redo the seal with silicone. Just a pain in the but.
Happened to me too. I threw mine in a tupperware container with a lot of dessicant packets. In about 3 days they were completely clear. I had a lot of moisture in them though. Then sealed them with aquarium sealant. No moisture since.
Dessicant is the safe way. But you can do the oven trick. I did it setting the oven only to warm and that is about 100 to 125 in my oven. I kept monitoring it every 5 minutes until all the moisture was gone. Then I left then outside to cool to room temperature. After that I sealed them off with clear silicone on the edge where the clear plastic meets the white plastic backing around the entire lens. I have never had a problem with moisture since and this was years ago.
open it up just enough to a screwdriver or something and let it air dry completely. I left mine out for a day. Close it up and seal it with clear weather seal which can be bought at any auto parts store. No more moisture for me.
I've had mine full of moisture for about almost 3 yrs now or over..I forgot anyway I've never had to change the bulbs either..I still am running on the same hyperwhite bulbs that I put on three yrs ago with the clear corners..Amazing hehe
