I recently installed Halos into my headlights. But now one of my headlights is getting condensation. I'm wondering what the best way to waterproof the headlight is. I'm thinking about putting some kind of silicon around the outer edges of the housing / headlight but i need something that will melt at around 220 degrees F. (Incase i need to re-open my headlights again.)

Any help or suggestions is really appreciated.

Thanks in advance

should have done some research before buying them cause i dont know how many peeps that had problems with these already!

by putting silicone you'll have a hard time opening them up again. i would just reheat and let it seal by its self?

 

if I remember my time from ttora and customtacos.com I think that nissas may sell the gel that they put in the headlights. I would try there.

 

you can just bake them apart and reseal them!!!

 

Yes but each time i bake apart the lights and reseal them i have to remove the entire bumper.
I would like to put some kind of silicon or glue around the edges to ensure that no condensation will occur.

This is the second time that the same light has condensated. (Despite the fact that each time i baked the light twice and squeezed it as tight as i could)

I think i'm just going to put silicon around the edges and if i need to re-open the lights for whatever reason i can cut through the silicon with a razor blade.

 

sadly everyone is going at it the wrong way...condesation isn't entering your headlight through the sealed area, but rather where you have your bulbs...there is a plastic cover correct? it has to be properly closed and i reccomend some type of tape around the edges that will help waterproof...the best kind being the tape used in pneumatics sinze it creates an airtight environment but im not sure where you can get that...good luck

 

For some reason I actually took the rubber part out there and I have no problems with condensation.

 

Hmm
When you resealed the headlights, did the tabs and the screws match up?

 

Yeah everything matched up just fine. It seemed like a perfect fit. This time i can make sure the plastic covers that esisso is talking about are sitting right.

I've already put the silicon so theres no turning back. I think i should be fine. I'll find out in a couple days if its condensating or not.

On a brighter note. I have painted the corners and eyelids black. It looks beautiful indeed

 

can you post pics of that? im gonna do the same, i was wondering how it looks!

 

Yeah i will post pics.

I just finished putting y car back together.

Hopefully there will be no condensation

 

been there done that....still have condisation
ima take em apart again and try to find some tape..
btw- i used something called automotive goop
its like silicone thats only good up to 200 degrees

 

Day 1: No condensation.
