the watery highs. Options

[Jared95]

well so here in Texas as most know who keep up with the weather i had to drive my car through 1.5 ft or more of water....so my fogs= ruined(already got them replaced) but my high beams have alot of water on the inside of the lenses i didnt think there was a solution but can anything be done?

We've been gettin the same stuff down here in Houston. I broke my old Honda's crankshaft that way. 2 ft of water ftl. Sorry to hear bout this! Wish I knew what to do

Pretty easy fix man... Take off your front bumper with this how-to. After that is done unplug and remove the affected lights. There are 3 bolts on each light. After this you have a few options.... to actually remove your lense to get the water out and reseal them well you can:
Turn on the oven to get them hot enough to pull off *I dont reccomend*
Heat up a pan of water on the stove and let the front piece of the housing sit in there *Not the most practical, but it gets the job done, and shows you where you leaks are*
Use a heat gun to slowly heat up the edges of the entire lens then use a flatheaded screw driver to pry it off. *the easiest and cleanest of them all*
One thing to keep in mind is that the glass chips easily so be careful to not break your light.
Once the lense is open you can clean out the inner housing to make sure it is to your liking. From there *if done quickly* you can push the housing and lens back together if the glue is still warm... After doing this I reccomend heating up the lens again to make sure that the housing and the lens bonded well. If you still are having problems, you can always use a clear silcone to insert in spots, or you can do the entire thing in silcone although this is a PERMANENT thing and I don't recomend it unless you no longer plan to be in your lights.
I hope that helps!

for my ST I had this prob with one of them...so when I had the bumper off I drilled a small hole in the bottom of the watered high beam and all the water pissed out and I haven't had a problem with it since
