So we had a lil bit of rain. My passenger side hi-beam is 1/2 full of water!!..
 Removing bumper is NOT going to happen!! SO-- Can I drill a small hole for it to empty out then smear silicone over it to seal it, then peel it off if //when it happens again?..  I CAN use just the lows but it was great having hi's out on the country roads we drive to & from work making it way easier to see road verman & deer..  Yup I did a search & wish it were only condensation, but I am definitely NOT pulling the bumper cover!! I don't have the time to have it layed up again when I break stuff pulling it off!!!! !!!ALWAYS HAPPENS TO BE MY LUCK!!!..

take out the headlight, drain the water, take out the bulb, and put it in the sun. then seal it.

Im assuming if you heat the headlamp up by turning it on, getting all the vapor out by removing the halogen bulb and blowing/circulating fresh air into it before the vapor condenses, you could avoid so hassle of drying it in the sun. Though I highly recommend sealing the original leak, go ahead and pull the headlight if you need to, better now than later(when you have to buy a replacement) This post has been edited by Special_Edy: Jan 25, 2013 - 11:49 PM |
