water on headlights , please read!!!
ok heres the deal....
the other night it rained so bad it flooded here.
water got into my car and engine., and all that ****. it almost covered my wheels.... i got into a pond a sudden.... well, water got into my headlights and blew my HID Xenon Bulbs.... and water got into them....
well i took the headlights these morning.... opened them,,... cleaned them , dry them, put them back togheter and it was all good... these afternoon when i look i got humidity stiking to my headlight from inside.... i made sure i sealed the headlights with silicone when i put them back togheter....
is there any way to get the humidity out of the headlights with out having me to get them apart again.. i dont wanna have to take them apart and **** the silicon i already had on them..

Dude im not sure, but I know what you mean, one of my plasma bulbs blew the other night cause of a tiny leak in the headlight I got my stockies back in and they suck.
ARe you sure you dried em all the way? It could be that you may have missed a spot. The rubber seal and groove that holds it can also hold water and must be completely dry before sealing. If you like, I have a pair of headlights w/ mounting brackets that came from my car...give me an offer plus shipping and I'll send it to you. I did a jdm front end conversion and now I have the stock ones sitting in my garage...bumpers/hood/clear corners and signal lights and headlights with the good hyperwhites.
You took your stock headlights apart???? If so was this hard I have never heard of anyone doing this succesfuly with a 88-91 hell not evena 92-95 without craking the glass.
well agfter taking the pins out... i used a little screwdriver in while i had a hot blow drier..... but a heat gun its much better.. just make sure the seal its hot and starts to get soft.... then start to pry them by hand.... slowly and carefully....
and thanxs people.. u ducktaped a little hose fo rmore suction on the vacum... pu it tru one hole in the headlight and blowing heat to the glassi think that putting silicate inthere wich sucks humidity, would have worked and then vacummed
