yeah when you blacked it out you didnt seal it good enough so seal it better

so everytime they fog just burnout.???? i would rather do somthing more reliable.......funny story though..........i bought these headlights i am not the one that blacked them out......so do i just buy some silicone somewhere and put it around the edges??????? or do i need to take the lights completly out and seal around the entire light???

You really should take the lights off the car to reseal them. Better in fact to remove any existing sealant and re-seal the whole car properly. I use Permatex Gasket Maker (grey tube) instead of silicone, I've resealed dozens of cleared and blackedout headlights with this stuff and I've only had to redo a couple of pairs.

there are some stuff called:
SILICA GEL DESICCANT MOISTURE PACKETS

put like 5 in ur headlight......then reseal them with ALOT of silicone......DONT BE CHEAP ON THE SILICONE......

then let it dry for at least 1 day (yes that means a whole 24hrs)

or u can throw it in the oven for a lil bit untill the silicone gets heated and push the edges together hard and u should be fine. oh yeah the clear silicone is the way to go too cuz the black stuff are messy.

you should definitely remove them, take them apart, and start over. I'd do both, even if only one is leaking, as the other may start right after you get your car put back together. if whoever did them did a half assed job on one, he probably did so on both.

thanks guys looks like i got a little project this weekend

speakeasy

i just did them last week and it started fogging up the next day when i washed it. then when i was at work, i noticed some chrome where some of the paint flaked off on the outer parking light section. i was ****ing pissed, but that was cause i knew i half assed it. anyway, i took them apart yesterday and sanded them down real good with rougher sandpaper, primered them with actual flexible/plastic primer, painted them with good high temp semi gloss engine paint, and let those sit overnight, then i put them together this morning using the putty **** that was already there, then i sealed up the outsides with some automotive, non-toxic clear sealer. if they start leaking again, ima have to take them apart again and scrape out the existing putty ****, and replace it which is what i should have done in the first place, now that i think about it.

for the 4,003rd time... oven it, remove old sealant, clean up surface, re-apply whatever your choice product is, make sure they seal good.

I bought after market headlights and one of them fogs just a little- I'm planning on retrofitting, so i'll have to take care of the sealant at that time.
