scottsoulby Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 personally id take the headlight out, remove the bulbs so it drys out and put some sealent around the edges of the light, should solve the problem, maybe somebody else knows how to do it easier?

MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I’ve had this too recently, but I just put it down to the wet/cold weather as the problem has only surfaced when it’s been really cold… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P15UL T Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 hi there, there is already a breathing hole in the back of the headlight so no point of drilling another one. sometimes condensation appears if its cold outside and them you wash the car with warm water. are both lights doing this ? is your car a uk or jap import ? is there water slushing about or just condersation ?

gazz350z Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 yeah its a jdm, no slushing or sitting water just really heavy conensation on the inside of the lens, maybe it is just down too the cold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 the reason i ask if its a jdm is the hid headlight needs to be disconnected for the sva test cause the jdm cars dont have headlight washers which makes them fail the test, sometimes the garage just disconnet the powerpack and replace the bulb with a standard bulb and sometimes the rob they rob the powerpack to make some money on the side which leave a 2" hole in the bottom of the light that may be still open or maybe not sealed up properly. turn your steering to one side on full lock and peel back your arch liner, you should be able to see the bottom of the head light and check to see if the powerpack is still there, its a square grey box about 4" x 4" x 1" Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
