about 2 weeks ago, i get hit, im not in the car im actually taking a calc exam, last block of the day everythings going fine, i get to my car and the front drivers side has been hit PoS hit and run A$$holes, lights cracked on the INSIDE!!! outside is absolutly fine, i was amazed, bumper has to be replace (friggin fiberglass lol) so i was in a hit and run and no witnesses , not really intrested in paying the 300 dollars it would cost me to replace the headlight on top of the 1000 for the bumper, so my bright idea is EBAY!!! i order a set of oem headlights, everything looks fine 120$ 20 for shipping i got them monday, so i put those in, and go wash the car. i come out start drying off the car, and there it is...fog inside the headlights.... so i guess my question is after this story is. what should i do? is there anything that will help? or should i heat it remove the silicon and replace it? any help would be great thx

yeah i am going threw insurance, but they're saying that the headlight isnt a needed repair which im totally amused at, and changing insurance companies lol they would raise my insurance for some reason.

Heat up the headlights as if you were going to pull them apart, and press them together very tightly. Honda also sells a clear sealant they use on their headlights in factory. It should only be a few dollars from your local dealer. Run the sealant along the area that joins the headlights together. This should seal any problem.

If you know how to, take apart the headlights before you seal them becuase otherwise you will notice a watermark when looking at the headlight. It wont affect beam pattern, but it will be there until you wipe it off with a glass cleaner. Once thats done, put a nice bead of silicone around the headlight (dont get silicone crazy and bust a whole tube on the headlight) and they wont fog again.
