TYC help?

OK, ive had my TYC projectors since the end of julyand have had no problems. But, in my area its been raining nonstop for 2.5 days, and now theres condensation in the drivers headlight. when i opened the box when i got tehm, i didnt open the rubber boots in the rear or anything. i just installed them. if this has happened to anyone else( im sure it has), let me know what you did to correct it. BTW, i did search.

Thanks.

Sorry I can't help. But I don't have any problems with my TYCs'. Why don't you try opening your headlights and let it dry for awhile?

Dry the headlights out with a hair dryer and then reseal them with silicone. Any cracks in the seal with let moisture in.

Isaac, I have heard people say that even when they do come like that, they need to be resealed with some more silicone...at least that is what I heard with the rear Altezzas...

I had the same problem with my projectors. After the first day of rain they fogged up. I just pulled out the rubber cover out of the back and dried it with a hairdryer. I then sealed around the bulbs with silicone. So far so good , they have not fogged up since. You will find that if your lights allow moisture in at all your bulbs will not last too long.
