Condensation after black out
 
Im getting minor condensation in my head lights after i put them back on after i did the diy black out. I used a full tube of clear liquid nails to seal them again so I really dont think there is any way water is getting in. I didnt however put them together when the paint was still tacky. Im thinking after the paint fully dryed, there was some mositure left over and thats what im seeing. I have gone threw a few car washes and driven alot in the rain since i did them and the water has not gotten any worse in side.
Im thinking about taking a bulb out and putting a hair dryer to the back of the light and see if that fixes it. Anyone else have any ideas?

the only thing i can guess is u missed a spot.. have a good 10-15 minz with the hair dryer and see how that goes

don't have the hair dryer up full blast on the hottest heat
i'd go with the medium settings. patience is a virtue.

yea, when you put the sealant on the lights, you should have had them set for a while, i set mine for a full day and then put them back on the next day and i had no problem with fog at all.... the sealent is most likely what caused it, because its moist when u put it on and it needs time to dry fully. for now, open up the rear of ur lights (the rubber guard) and then u can drive around a lil like that get some air in there, if u do the dryer be carefull or u'll get water spots on the inside of the lights.
