Removing moisture from headlights?

evol911

Anyone have some good tricks for removing built up moisture in the headlights? I used to just drill small holes in the plastic but that was in AZ and now that I'm Oregon, don't think that will work to good with all the rain and such.

make sure when you use this technique, when its nice and warm or at least dry outside.

the easiest way is to just remove the high beam side and turn on the headlight. the heat from the the low beam side will dry it out. once its dried out then replace back the head light. dont let it sit over night with out the open high beam plug as it will just get dew back in it.

the second way is to remove both low and high beam. take a hair drier and have it on low heat but high flow. stick it in on side and let it blow out..


but from my experience, the moisture is because you have a leak somewhere on the seal. so youll pretty much get it to have moisture again anyways.

I jsut drill holes in the bottom of the lights and then blow air through them to get the moisture off of the lens.. Water shouldn't get in becuase they lights are covered pretty good..

It's too hard to drill a hole in the bottom of the lite & if u can you CAN'T get a air noozle in there too blow it out.Condensation in the EF headlites is fairly common.

I know stuff like brake cleaner and electrical contact cleaner displaces moisture. I was thinking of spraying some of that in there and then blowin them out with my air nozzle. I reall don't want the inside of the lights to start turning that rusty color.
