My left headlight is kind of foggy. It comes and goes. I never opened up my headlight though, so there shouldnt be any reason for it to fog up. I should go back to Honda and ask for new ones.

Hey Ren, Do you think it might be the city lights that you put in there, and also you might be able to just seal that hole up and be good from there, but you still might have to take the headlight out and clean it and then seal the whole thing up and make sure you seal the little hole up where you have the city light.

i've worked on my headlights quite a bit this past year, i usually try to wait until the air outside is dry before i open up the housing, it think it helps, haven't fogged up at all, hope this helps[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG] maybe try reopening the housing during a dry sunny day, letting the dry air flood in???[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

does caulk with "specially formulated siliconized latex" work with the sealing process?

Mine fogged up......to get the condensation out without unsealing, all you have to do is remove the light on a dry sunny day, remove the bulbs, and leave it out...dry air will enter through the holes where the bulbs were, and the condensation can escape through the same holes.
