i recently noticed there was water residue on my light and i went to wipe it off but it was on the inside. i took off my light and poured out water. whats the best way to dry it off and prevent it from happening again?

 

Two options:

1. Replace the whole thing.

2. Drain the water, thoroughly dry the fixture, inside and out. Then try and locate the hole or crack or other form of molecular disturbance that is allowing condensation (and in your case, actual visible water) in the case.


My vote is buy a new unit.

 

u could just get a new lense. or u could drill a small drain hole so the water runs out

 

Id take the thing out, and submerge it in water to find the leak unless its realy obvious, Then just silicon or glue it untill its sealed again. After you properly drained the water and or moister out of course.

 

i looked at it and didnt find any cracks or anything and ill prob just glue around the whole thing but what is the best way to get alll the moisture out?

 

Stick it in a hot, dry area. Something like a low heat oven or similar.

 

could i put it in the oven like how ppl bake their ek lights but on a lower temp?

i bet this light is an aftermarket one... if it isnt, somoene hook this dude up with a new OEM corner lense, everyone has one.

 

they were vision knockoffs. thanks for the help but i put my REAL jdm corners on there that my gf got me. thats right im rocking clear corners

I would assume so, but I do not know the temperature at which your glue would separate. My best advice is to get new corner lenses.

 

that costs money. i know your suppose to bake em at 200 for like 5 mins for the glue to seperate.

 

ok heres what i did, i filled it up with water to see if it leaked any where and it did, right in the corner. so i cleaned it out cuz there was crud in there and put a toilet paper roll over the socket thing and put it angled towards my heater. it dried it out perfect

then i used some of my gfs nail glue to glue all around the corner and along both sides. do u guys think that should be good enough?

Test it. Try getting water in there.
