Dee's were the ones I tried to fix. Although we did a much better job then it originally was we weren't 100% successful. A lot of the plastic backing had been hacked.

 

before you start pulling the light apart, get to the headlight itself and check all the seals around the bulbs...

quite often, these can get disturbed and MAY be the cause of your problem.

also, when drying the light out, it's quite easy to pull the headlight, remove the bulbs, drain the light, and then use a hair dryer to blow at med heat, high fan into the highbeam socket, and the air will vent from the turn and parking light ports...

 

The most important thing is do something immediately. Don't put this off. The longer you wait...the more opportunity for dirt/debris to intrude inside the headlamp assembly along with that moisture. And when that "dirty water" condenses then evaporates...you end up with a secondary cleaning mess where everything inside the headlamp assy is dirty. And in some cases even a little rusty -- since there are some metal parts inside the housing at the base of the ballast that like to rust if allowed to receive moisture -- you get a real terrarium effect . Although it can be cleaned with a microfiber towel and distilled water typically, such additional dirt/rust/cleanup is unnecessarily burdensome to an already un-fun project.

Folks are steering you in the right direction regarding simply following Rick's instructions. I *would* add that you have not yet even pulled the light...so don't allow yourself to feel daunted regarding the idea that this will be a PITA project. Until you pull the headlight, you can't even be sure the person that cleared the light before actually applied any additional sealant in the first place, etc. So again, my advice...read the instructions on Rick's site, jump in, and clean that up pronto!

Good luck!

I had similar issues. Take out the head light, bake it for 15 minutes at 225 degrees to get out the moisture, get rtv silicone from an autoparts store and re- seal the crap out of it! No need to take the light apart. Problem solved! Good luck!

 

Thanks all for your time. I will do this very soon.

 

This may not be the result of a poor job when the headlights were cleared. I have the EDM lamps (yes, got them before we developed the diffusers), and they were getting condensation big time.

Turns out it was a result of a sloppy job on my part of seating the rubber grommet over the high beam bulb socket when I replaced the bulbs.

The fix was easy. First I pulled off the grommet and blew a hair dryer into the housing until all the water vapor cleared out (took about an hour). Then I reseated the grommet. I haven't had a problem since.

Just make sure you do this on a low humidity day.

 

actually mine look great now! i washed my car yesterday and usually when i would wash the car, it would fog up in seconds and condensation would be there for a long time. but yesterday, no foggyness or condensation! thanks Dan!

 

when i had mine cleared at spugen there was another car having his redone- the guy he bought it from did it himself and did not seal it right. spugen fixed it by pulling apart and resealing it.
looks like there are other good suggestions above.
as indicated above, dont wait to get this fixed!
