WhackyWill Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Hi All. Got condensation in one of my rear aftermarket smoked tailights, how do I get rid of it. Other one is OK, I have checked there are no cracks or damage to it, just wet inside ?. Thanks. Will Quote
Karlp Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Sounds like a seal has gone somewhere, are they under warranty? Quote
WhackyWill Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 They were on the car when I bought it, previous owner fitted them, but he only had the car for a little while. Quote

Vlad Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 i had same problem in mine, had a little hole in the seal and water was getting in....what i did - take light out, take bulb out(or breather cover) and blow hard in the hole and listen for noise/whistle - that's how you find where seal is broke (or put a bit of silicone etc over the joining bit(where 2 parts of lights join together-all around)) and blow again and if there is a hole in the seal - you'll see silicone bubbling up. if hole is tiny-put a drop of super glue/silicone there to seal it....wack your light on radiator for couple of days to fully dry and refit (or blow again to see if the hole sealed properly). Done mine 2 months ago - and never misted up again better stay that way as well lol Quote
WhackyWill Posted January 31, 2013 Author Posted January 31, 2013 Thanks Viad, will do that over the weekend, is it easy to take out the unit ? Dont know if I can leave it on the rad for a few days as I need the car, will use the hair dryer. Will. Quote
ilogikal1 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Leave it in the airing cupboard over night. Should only take a few hours to dry out. 1 Quote
Dblock Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Didn't someone on here suggest goretex as it lets water out but not in? Quote
