i painted my head lights last night and sealed them up and everything...now they fog over night and clear during the day....did i cover a vent or something...please put in ur input

 

what you use for sealent and how did you apply the sealent and where

 

clear rvt and inside the chanal and around the outside

 

my projectors do this

 

GREY RTV clear isnt stock and just looks weird...the grey rtv is found in any autoparts store and matches the grey housings of the stock headlight

 

i hate it haha

 

Was the paint dry before you sealed it?

 

oh well i dunno i got clear cuz thats what i saw first haha

and yes the paint was dry but they clear up with the sun and get foggy durin the night...should i drill holes in the bottom

 

no dont drill holes just go all around the headlight with it

 

should get some more seleant and put it around the outside of both of them should help out a lot make sure you put a good amount around them

 

bring them out, mine did this, take out the bulb and blow dry the inside for about 1min each and dont keep it in 1 place move it around, mine have not fogged now for 5months

 

i did twice....i brought em in and dried them out and fogged up when i put em back in...maybe theyll clear up tomorrow lol

 

o in that case theres a hole somewhere, reseal on top of it

 

i dunno maybe its the cold air with the warm headlights

i guess i shouldnt have done this haha

 

you have condensation...the reason that happens is because cold air is meeting hot air and causing mist... theres a tiny leak somewhere

 

well how do i fix this cuz i dont want them ***** foggin all the time

 

This is why I haven't painted my headlights because I was worried they'd fog up like this...

 

well they clear out during the day...bu come night they fog up and its been rainin here.....i hate it

 

dude buy that RTV stuff and just run a bead or a couple beads just to make sure on the whole headlight the plastic cover and the back of the headligth where they intersect let it dry and you got a waterproof headlight...I did this and its all gone

 

Put it back in the oven for a little while and push them together better... then apply sealant around. That's what I did. Fogged up ONE time after that... then never again.

 

I had the exact same problem after painting mine. I eventually drilled 2 small holes in the bottom of the headlamp to drain any water that gets in there and fabricated 2 breather holes on the top of the headlamps and then painted the casings black. Have not had any fogging issues since I did this 7 months ago.

 

ok well where did u drill the holes on the bottom?

 

all fixed guys thanks!!!

 

dont forget ur painting mine scotty WOOT WOOT!
