hey guys,
i just ended up clearing my headlights out yesterday. I didnt need the car for a few days so i took my time with it. THe current status is that its all opened up/cleaned/took out the orange diffuser, and ready to be put back now.

I saw a lot of instructions on how to check to see if there is any leakage in the headlights once they are re-sealed back together. However, the instructions were reALLY basic and not thorough. ALl i got outa it was to hold it over the siink and let hot water run?? wouldnt that make the mist go IN the headlights??

Can anyone give me instructions on how to chek to see if my seal that i made after opened it up and put it back together, to see if its good or not??

any help would be great.. ANd i will post pics once the project is done!..


thanx

turn on the shower to really hot and close the bathroom door....let it steam up and put the headlights under the shower head and see if water/steam enters the headlights

 

Make sure you plug the hole for the HID bulb. You want to make sure the hl is completely sealed.

 

so you mean put in all the bulbs in and THEN hold it in the shower to see if it fogz up??? do i let the housing get wet UNDer the shower??

thanx

 

yes you can get it wet, just make sure every hole is covered.

 

No, don't put the bulbs in. Tape off the holes for the bulbs with painters tape or the like, then put it under the shower. The headlight should get wet.

 

"put in all the bulbs"...think about that buddy. water + wet electronics = BAD

the housing is there to protect the bulbs from water so naturally you dont want to wet them.

Just messing with you bro...dont get pissed off.
