    I'm over this condensation problem!!!

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Like many others, I'm experienced incessant condensation in my driver side halogen headlight housing. I just cleaned my my car and it looks amazing...except for the headlights!

    I'm going to put some silicon packets into the backs of the housings to take care of the problem. You know, the things you sometimes get in new shoe boxes and some clothes.

    Apart from going to the mall and stealing a bunch, does anyone know where to get some?

    I also wonder how often I will need to change them out.

    Thanks

    there is an o-ring on one of the adjusters that you need to replace with a thicker one, do a forum search.

    ^ IIRC that is only for bi-xenon cars
