Fogging Projector lights

I installed my projectors last week and noticed that they fog up . Now the bulbs are starting to blow on the lights. Is this connected with the fogging up. If I seal the lights will this stop the bulbs blowing. The bulbs I used are not cheap ones, and I made sure not to touch the glass case of the bulb. Will moisture cause the bulbs to blow

Woah cool your bulbs are blowing your lights? It's about time we heard more about blow jobs around here [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

But yeah moisture can cause bulbs to blow. Condensation on the outside of the bulb can cause differences in pressure especially that small of a volume of space, and when the bulb heats up, it will likely "blow" haha

Seal them b!tches up with silicon and u should be cool

they are fogging up because you installed them on a humid day.. Simply take off the rubber seals and use a heat gun or blow dryer and blow warm air into them untill all the moisture is gone..then put back on the rubber seals and yer done..

so are you saying moisture can be trapped inside and even though u seal up your headlamps really good it could still fog? cause i re-sealed my headlamps and i see it still fogging [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
