Anyone have this? I just noticed that I have some condensation in the front right head lamp.

I have HID's but this shouldnt be the cause. You think the Dealership will say that voided the warranty? I never took apart the head lamp or whatever, the HID's are plug and play...

 

put in your stock lights! take it in!

 

ugh.. It took a while for my friend to help put them in. (he did most if it) im not as good with this stuff... You think the dealer would say the HID's were to blame? I mean. its like changing a bulb....

 

they'll do whatever they can to get out of covering costs.

 

Exactly.
I say put your stock bulbs in and take it in. I HATE the look of lights with condensation in them.

yea i'd recommend that
make it look as stock as possible and bring back to dealership. you should have new headlights no problem
i ran the risk of blacking my headlights myself and i'm lucky i didn't run into any condensation problems

Its strange b/c to install HIDs you dont take apart the headlight. Ugh.

 

yeah that is super strange, there is no way an "aftermarket bulb" can produce condensation. you got a leak in your headlight. but i guess to play it safe like always put your stock bulbs back in.

If the problem didnt happen until the HID's were installed than thats your problem. Maybe the seal on the HID bulbs are screwed up? If its just a little bit of moisture it may go away.

Im still having problems with my headlights not turning on at random times. I know its not my HID's because it does it anytimes of the day. Hot, cold, rain, dry. And its both headlights, not one. Also another member has had the same problem.

I cant take my car in. I have painted headlights, foglight mod, and HID's.

 

When you installed the HID's you probably didn't get good reseal and air creeps in at night when the car cools down and condenses the water vapor. And if you take it to dealer that's probably whart they'll say. Yeah I'd take the HID's out beforehand but the dealer's gonna know the module was rempved. My advice is seal the unit yourself with gpod clear silicone sealant.

 

How do I seal it? Do I need to take it apart? or just apply the sealant along the edges?

 

it was happening to me and i called the dealer. They told me the car has to be less than 14,000 miles or two years after the purchase to get it fixed(thats my dealer though). They did said that when i take my car to the dealer, a "specialist" would come in and check out whats causing the problem. Its obvious to me that if he saw that i have super huge bulbs due to them being bi-xenons he would consider that as the problem of condensation.
Make sure your buddy installed those rubber boots where the bulb is. I didnt, and thats why it gets all fogged up when i wash the car or when it rains.

 

My old civic did this. I used this on it. It works pretty good. The best part is at the time of application i didn't have to take the head light housing apart.

 

^what you say is a really good product as i can see in that page, but we dont mean the fading in the plastic cover of the headlight. Its like drops of water inside the headlight what we say...
but thanks for that, looks like it could work for my dad's work van.

 

I think you found the problem when you left the boots off.
You need to repl;ace the boots; use a thin film of silicone sealane between the boot and housing. Otherwise look for cracks in the housing and seal those if you fimnd one. Make sure all wiring seals into housing are good.

 

I never said i left the boots off.

 

At least your headlights arent oxidizing like mine are. My headlights look like cataracts eye.
