I had the same problem. What I did was take out the bulb and take a piece of paper towel and make it into a tip and absorb all the water out. I let it sit like that for about 10 min and put the bulbs back in. I also heard that if you take a blow dryer and heat up the light it might work...but thats what I've heard

Mine just kinda went away. But yeah, that blow dryer technique does work. Or a hot light. Stuff like that.

you gotta take out the bumper and the light housing...then you need to heat the borders of the light (with a heatgun) to un-glue it use a good industrial glue to seal |

I know that sux....mine are redoing that too but very slowly that's a reason why I want projectors...even if humidity gets in...it's harder to notice all stock high beams have that sealing problem I think This post has been edited by HaRv3sTeR: Sep 17, 2004 - 8:57 AM |
