condensation in headlight

[dmoe]

I have condensation in my drivers side headlight----any suggestions on how to fix this problem ?

Thanks

Remove one of the covers and drive without it for a few days. Sometimes this helps already.

-> The cover on the inner side of the housing is easier to access.

I seemed to have a little last month too but it hasn't shown up since. Thankfully in California this is hardly ever a problem. It was the drivers side as well.

Try removing one of the covers as mentioned to let the mixing ratio of the air even out, them make sure all of the light covers are secured perfect. You have a leak somewhere, and if you didn't take your headlights apart recently then it has to be a bulb cover on the back.

My friend used to have a Mk3 Jetta that somehow has a big crack/hole in part of the taillight, so the bottom chamber would fill up with a good inch of water that would visibly slosh around when he would turn. I told him he should put a goldfish in his taillight to entertain drivers behind him haha

stupid answer!!!!

^^ agreed.

back to the subject: Jens is correct, you can also try to use a blow dryer to get rid of the condensation, but I would suggest locating the source of the problem.

did you CC recently? changed a bulb? Recheck, if you have xenon, it could damage something.

just bought the car, and there was not condensation in there when i bought it,then there was condensation for a couple of days and now its all gone

its from probably leakage and did you black house or do clear corners? that could be the problem if you did

[dmoe]

i havent modified the lights at all

if you bought it used then it might have been in an accident... look for a leak somewhere... if you can find a cheap replacement i'd just get a new headlight installed if it bugs you enough. If not... look for the leak... dry it out... and seal the hole.
