This is sort of a noob question, but I just noticed some condensation in my stock USDM headlights. It's cold outside, but this has never happened before. Seals can wear, they did on my taillights and so I replaced them with JDMs. But the headlights are glass, so I need some extra opinions.

My question is:

Is it the cold that's doing it or is this a good time to replace them? I can't stand the foggy look of them right now and am wondering if it will go away. Can anyone relate?

Glass headlights? Never heard of that before to be honest lol. Just clean it and seal any air pockets. It's most likely the cold doing it.

Remove the headlight (very easy) including the bulb and it's plug. Heat the lens with a heat gun or even a hair dryer until the moisture is gone. Reseal the lens to the housing. Check/replace the headlight plug seal. Reinstall.

'92-'95 Civic headlight lenses are made of glass, '96-'00 are made of acrylic.

Thanks mcvtec.

What sealant to you recommend? Does 3M make some for headlights?

3m stuff is good. I would use clear silicone, nothing fancy. Clean the seam well.

I can't find any JDM headlights that are clean for a good price.
