I now have moisture build up in one of my headlight on 97 Civic. It's never been opened or mod for clear corner. It's all stock. I have not wash my car, but I'm guessing the wet winter, and the fact that my car was outside for many days may be the cause. Either case, what can I do since it now don't seem to go away (it comes back)?

TIA

 

You may just want to replace the headlight now

 

The seatant on your headlight crapped out somewhere, that's why you get that condensation. You can either redo the whole headlight with new silicon, or get some new one's if they're worn out and it's not worth wasting your time.

Water may cause the bulb to explode. So that's $5.00. Can it do anything other damage? I recall a headlight was like $350. That's a lot of $$$ when "nothing" is wrong.

What are the effects if I just leave it?

TIA

 

Try putting the headlight in a hot room or use a blow dryer to get rid of some of the condensation. Or you can just open them up and reseal them with silicon and theyll be good as new.

 

buy, not one, BUT 2 NEW on eBay, thats what i did. 125 for 2 oem headlights.

 

put it in the oven at like 200 degrees for about 5-8 min then open it up put more sealant in it close it back up seal around the outside and that should do it

 

1.bake them in the oven
2.Open and remove stupid amber reflector
3. Reseal with good quality silicone

 

Buy a new headlight, it'll cost you though.
