Well im sure a ton of you guys are suffering from headlight condensation but, i was doing some thinking while in bed last night (no i wasnt on the toilet) and i thought about using surran wrap? Maybe wrapping the whole assembly even the outside lenses? A single layer would be very transparent and would help protect against cracks and road chips. Also wrapping the assembly would help prevent water from leaking in, where ever it does.......

ok im not talking like wrapping the whole thing in multiple layers, but 1 layer ? So its barely noticeable? Its not like it wont withstand any heat. Your opinions on my ghetto fabulous idea is welcome........... you dont have to refrain from laughing in my face

 

buy sealant to keep moisture out.

 

i'll let you put breakfast bags in your lights without making fun of you. use silicon grease

 

Interesting idea. I would just buy some silicon sealant and seal the pizz-monkey out of the thing. But interesting..

Maybe shrink wrap (get a window weather seal from Home Depot or something and use that shrink wrap) so it molds to the headlight or something.

up for more responses or experiences....

how about gettin the moisture out once its in there without pulling the whole assembly out?

you can use a hair dryer to dry up any water inside. it'll take a while depending on how bad it is, but it will dry

 

You don't want it 100% sealed because then any moisture inside can't escape.

And no saran wrap would not work, it's much too thin and you wouldn't get it to conform to the curvature of the lenses anyway (there would be ridges and folds all over).

On the back of my Hella bi-xenon projectors, there is a small open space where the bulb goes into the bulb holder. When the lights are on, light actually shines backwards and onto my ABS pump and power steering reservoir. However even with this opening I haven't had any condensation problems since I did my retrofit about a month ago, even with LOTS of rain, washing the car, pressure washer, etc.
