HELP my headlight fogged up

strati1 · 03-29-2011, 07:37 PM

i was messing around with the headlight housing backing and forgot to reattach one of the wire clips before washing my car. My headlight then fogged up during the wash. i closed the clip at first then thought otherwise and reopened the backing completely and decided to let it air out.

anyone have this problem before or know what to do?

Have you modified your headlight at all? I would play dumb and dealer warranty it lol. I've had mine fog up too bc I had the backing not secure, but I secured it and it ended up fine.

Best thing to do would be getting silicon packets to absorb excess moisture while it dries.
