HeadLight Leak
Hey all
So my driver headlight on my CL has been full on condensation for the passed month or so. I searched it,, and found some info on the gasket thing by the ballast. Im not convinced that this is the problem
The other other day when i was leaving work, i looked at my car, and the headlight had completely dried out. but now its full again. it hasnt rained, and i havent washed my car the past week or so.
Its kinda strange, any suggestions?

I used to get condensation in my one headlight too. You can take the bulb out (not the HID) and spray some air in there or leave it open to help vent the moisture out. What really did it for me was that i stopped going to car washes. I think that high pressure forced some moisture in there.

my brother has a 02 tl and has this with his passenger side fog lamp. he bought the lens material in home depot and is redoing it with a new sealant but i would imagine a headlight would be more complicated.

If its not alot of condensation, you can take one of those silica packets that you get with new sneakers and stick it in there and seal the light up for 24 hours. That will absorb the moisture.

I am assuming you are referring to part #11 off that diagram.
I was experiencing similar issues after i did some retrofits on my accord. Ended up getting some clear window sealant from Home Depot and went around the edges where the lens and headlight meet. That seem to eliminate my condensation issue.
