mini-e Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Hi, I recently referbed my jap spec lights, and sparyed the insides black to it the facelift look, came out well but..... one of the light has fogged up! Whats the best way of sortin this out? Will i have to take the light apart again?(which i dont want to do) Or will i get away with just taking the light out and resealing them? Whats the best thing to use when resealing them, that black windscreen silicone type stuff iv heard? Also, if i dont take them apart how do i get rid of the condensation? Will a hairdryer work? Have also heard people using silica gel in their to get rid of it. Any help appreciated, Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Think you will have to reseal them again mate, Make sure all the bulb holders are all in the headlight tight. The fog/mist will only come back when it rains even if you do get rid of it. Give gzaerojon a pm. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 try heating them back up but leaving the metal clips in place, the clips are pretty strong so with the sealant a bit softer they might pull together a bit more and enough to seal them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I had this problem a few years ago, my lights have been fine since. I took the lights apart again, heated up the main body of the light and took sealant from the places where it look thick and added it to the thinner areas. I put the clear parts back on and heated each assembly in the oven again and put the clips on while hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-e Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 Iv got a hot air gun now, so might try get rid of all the condinsation, then heat up around the seal and hopefully that should sort it. If now, il take them apart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Weird I did the hair dryer trick on one of mine today; bulbs out hairdryer and all clear again. It will come back though Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-e Posted January 21, 2007 Author Share Posted January 21, 2007 I decided to take them apart again, got rid of all condinsation and resealed them again. However, i still fear they might fog up again. Obviously this would be the best time to add an extra sealant, what does people use? Is it the widscreen stuff the best stuff to use as an extra sealant? Or anything else anybody use to stop that fooged up look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
