passenger side light keeps fogging up!!!
well i just just resealed them with 3m window weld but again once i put it back on today it started fogging upa bit(not as bad as the litle lake i had it is before) but im just worried that it will start condensing again! but i think i might know wat the prob is. the passenger side fender is like hitting against the top left side of the passenger side headlight, and i think it is causing it to rip some of the window weld around that portion of the headlight and making a little hole. ill post pics of wat i am talking about tomm.
but if thats the case would i be able to move that fender around so that its not so tight together with the headlight? or i could be wrong all together and the seal is bad, but nothing looks like its sticking out or anything like that. everything looks tightly sealed.
but tomm ill post pics up of my fogged up light and ill post pics of wat i mean by the fender hitting up against the light. but any suggestions right now would be very helpful.

but i have a feeling that it may fog up to
oh yea also i think it might be that the light bulb connector(watever its called) is loose and is making it condense like that.

you might have to take your headlight off and dry it by hand. i think when you first blacked out your headlights, you may have gotten a little bit of water stuck inside the housing, and after you sealed it all that water stayed inside the headlight...so after a while it will dry, but it will remain inside the headlight as a water vapor...and then return to the liquid state when it's cold.

try the hair dryer trick. open it up as if you're changing a bulb, aim the hair dryer, and let it dry it all up...i dont know how long you'd have to do it for

yea but if i do that wouldnt the fog just come back? and when i resealed the light again i did dry the lense. i took everything apart and wiped off all of that water on it and it still came back....but lately it was nt as bad as it was before9when there was like a river in my headlight) so for now its just small pacthes of fog here and there. but im still **** about it. from far away you can barely see it. but once your up close you can see it for sure.
my passenger side use to fog up all the time when it rains or its very humid outside but the reason i think it use to fog up is a little drop of water may have gotten in the headlight that you can't see. so what i did was removed the weatheseal from that headlight and drove a car for a week and the air getting inside the headlight must have dried it up and no more fog and put the weatherseal back on......

ok the 3m window weld is clear silicone type stuff. this is one of the best stuff to use when doing this, since it dries up almost instantly. what im thinking of doing is using fogX on the lenses. has anyone have any experiences with this?
