headlights fogged up AGAIN!
well i cleared my headlights with the "oven" method over the summer and the first time i washed the car, my left head got fogged up and so i resealed it and all was gravy, but i washed my car again last night and the same light fogged again... i'm at school now and don't feel comfortable leaving my bumper in the apt garage while i reseal the headlight so anyone got advice on how to clean up the light without takingoff the bumper and wiping it clean and then putting everything back?? oh, and what can happen if i continue to drive with my light fogged up?? thanks in advance for any advice.

damn! i was hopping for some good and easy advice... haha well i think i'm gonna unhook the HID ballast and hopefully wait for the water to evaporate? does that sound like a somewhat slow but easy solution to anyone else?

to take out the fog, u have to take the lights out, take the bulbs out, put em in your bathroom to dry with the fan on...
then reseal the entire thing with "Aquarium sealer" /silicone
u know what, check the right side of the driver side , there is a hole... like a square hole, put some silicone in it, and it should be fine... put silicone around teh whole thing, for both the head lights..... (I forgot about the hole, it was so small, thats why it fogged up on me)
mine fogged up twice, i resealed them twice, and no more fogging.

dont be lazy, no blowdryer, or no sunlight is going to take it away for real.. take out your bumper and remove the headlights from your car, take out the bulbs and then, let air circulate and take out the fog.....
i'd rather take the long way, then see my hid's blow up
