89 Teggy LS RIP
93 Mazda MX6 RIP (weak)
96 Teggy LS Yummy Luvin it

 

a trick that worked for mine was to park the car in the sunlight and take the bulbs out of the headlight and that will dry up the moisture. a friend of mine and worked at a new car dealership and some cars would have moisture in there headlights from sitting and thats what they did, plus like i said it worked on mine.

 

but mine doesnt do it one or couple times only, its like once a week. .... and i dont think its normal....

just try it, if it dont work, maybe take the headlights out and reseal them. im just saying the bulb trick worked for me, what do you have to lose

 

thanx homie.. ill try that later when i get home from work...

 

I don't know for sure but I think an opening in the housing somewhere would help to keep moisture buildup to a minimum. I know on my headlights which have Hella bi-xenon projectors in them, there's a hole in the bulb holder in back where the bulb goes in, and you can even see light shining back on the ABS modulator and P/S reservoir, but I have never had any moisture buildup problems.

 

im thinkin the reason why moist build up coz theres no or not enough air coming in and out.. so when it gets cold and then hot, theres not anough air circulating around them thats when the moist start up..

(prolly ill just drill more holes behind the headlights housing....)

 

Water is getting in through somewhere when your driving at higher speeds. The water gets in but can't get out. Just drill a hole (a SMALL ONE) in the back of that rubber grommet thats over the bulb with a 1/4 inch bit . THe bulb seals in you headlights are getting old. THis happened in my old teg.

 

I get condensation in my front left high beam everytime I wash my car. Any ideas of how to solve the problem?

 

Take your headlights out and put a layer of urethane sealant around the old seal.

 

Where can I get the urethane sealant from?

lowes/home depot/autozone/advanced auto parts/pep boys etc etc

 

any hardware store. you'll need only a light coating so buy a small bottle, unless other parts of your car leak.

 

silcon worked wonders for mine

lol in reply to thebense I was just messing about the mexican part but man from working construction those guys think up some crazy ways to get **** to work. Just get some high heat silicon and put a new layer around the existing seal on the headlights.
