Default Headlights jst got painted

Wuts up everyone. I jst got my headlights painted and I'm gonna reassemble them later today. As far as keeping moisture away I know you have to bake em in the oven again to remelt the glue and then press em back together. Bt you also have to pt them on a damp towel in the oven which creates a lot of humidity. How do yo avoid that?

Also I noticed two plugs on the back of each headlight assembly that seam to have full access to the inside of the assembly. Can't i pull those plugs off and put the headlights in a big bag w/ a bowl of baking soda next to them to absorb the moisture?

Thx guys

The damp towel really isn't that necessary... by the time the glue gets soft enough the towel is already dried up anyway.

If you have moisture in your headlights after you reglue everything back together just turn your high beams on for several minutes until the moisture is gone.If they come back then you didn't seal the headlight correctly...





Peace
