Moist headlight

[Chitownjohnny]

I have one headlight that has moisture inside of it. What do I need to do to get it to stop? Reseal or use silicone.

Ya take it out and find the source of leak.
Silicone is crap long term, use a polyurethane sealant.
Also look at seal where bulb goes in.

You may have to do a pressure check to find the leak as well. Sometimes a crack, or bad sealant can't be seen with the eye.

One can also drill a vent hole in the lowest portion to let any actual accumulation drain. With a vent, they don't seem to hold moisture droplets as bad either.

Make sure the light bulb is correctly seating and sealing and check for any cracks in the housing. If non I would rip em apart and reseal them and know they are good. Or replace em if you find a good deal! Now is a good time to do a projector retrofit lol.

So the easiest way to get the clear cover off is with heat?

Yup, bake it in the oven or if you have a cardboard box and a hair dryer you can do it that way there as well.
