Yesterday I got bored and decided that I was going to black my stock headlights out since they were just sitting out in the shed. Before I put them back together, I squirted some windshield sealer where the glue goes and then I mashed them back together and heated them up and mashed them back together all the way. Today, I poured water around the entire thing where the housing meets the lens. Not a single drop made it through. Here's my question. If no water got through, how likely is it that it will fog? Thanks!

 

You trapped moist inside them..... when putting them back!

 

wait are you saying they did fog? or what is the probability that they will?

Sorry to repost all that, just clarifying. I poured water around to see if the seams would leak between the clear front and the grey backing... no water got in so I'm asking if anyone thinks that they will fog.

 

not sure but im planning to do the same so i hope someone helps us out.

 

Anybody?

 

maybe there was water inside already?
Run a blow dryer in there and then add another seal around the edges. that should take care of it.

 

yea that sounds about right

 

To me, it sounds like the OP is asking if anyone thinks it'll fog up, NOT that it fogs up and he's looking for help to fix. I think he's just making sure that he sealed it correctly so it won't fog up after he took it apart and put it back together and is looking for input from people to assure him it's ok.

 

nope, i don't think it will since you said you sealed them complete (no leaks).
