So I split my headlights open last weekend. What a PITA!!!!
I performed the "procedure" as-per Rick's online instructions.
Actually the whole thing went pretty smooth.
I even baked the headlights twice, when I was forming them back together.
Not only that, but I used ratcheting tethers to squeeze the inner and outer headlkight assemblies together.
The only thing was that I kinda ran-out of Silicone on the second headlight.
I thought the bead of silicone was contnuous around the assembly, but I may be wrong.

Can I remove the headlights, hit them with a blow dryer for a while, and re-apply a bead of silicone?

If not, how can I resolve the condensation issue?

 

whatever you do, make sure you get it fixed! previous owner had condensation in one headlight when i bought it from him. then the headlight stopped working. brought it to honda, and the unit + ballast were waterlogged...was like a $1500 repair, but luckily they did it under warranty.

 

you need to take it apart and bake both sides to dry out any condensation. Then, put the two halves back together with enough silicone. I know it sucks but if you just add more silicone and seal it, you're sealing the condensation that you have inside.

 

Shouldnt it go away when you leave the headlights on for a little bit? Build up heat inside the lense to evaporate the moisture? Im sure you gotta take them apart and re-seal them though. Correct me if im wrong.

 

^no it will stay ya you need to take them apart again and re-seal them or you headlights are gonna be poopey! make sure the headlights are dry inside first before you re-seal them!

 

Try opening the HID door and dropping in a bag of silica gel. Thats those littlr bags that come in shoe boxes sometimes. That stuff absorba moisture. Then, once all your moisture is gone, throw out the gel pack and reseal the lights so it don't happen again.

 

^Thanks, I read that somewhere didnt know if it was true.

 

HID Door?? Whats that? Can I access it without removing the entire headlight assembly?

 

^no you have to remove everything again

the little outside cover where the HID is get some plyers (sp) to get it open

 

Has anyone else had fitment issues when replacing the front bumper?
I seem to have a small space between the bumper, and the passenger-side fender, right below the headlight. It's most likely being caused by the misalignment of the bracket right under the headlight assembly.
How do I get it just right? Any tricks?
There's no apparent fitment issues on the rest of the bumper...not obvious ones.
