Soooooo, I was getting the annoying light condensation in my oem projector headlight housings down by the led turn signals. I was getting it every day I drove with my headlights on in a cool/cold day. Once I shut them off, the condensation would slowly disappear in about 20-30 minutes. Like I said, it was really annoying me so I took the advice from this, and other forums, in a last ditch effort to see if I could remove it and it seems to have worked.
I took the headlight housing out and brought them in the house to warm up in a dry environment. I had a big tube of black silicone sealant laying around so I completely sealed all around the headlights where the clear lens meets the black housing. I’m wicked picky, so I made it look like it came from the factory that way….very clean. Next, I took the dust cap off and heated the inside with a hairdryer for like 30 minutes total. Lastly, I put a silica gel desiccant packet inside each housing just underneath the high beam bulb. Even though I already did this prior, I readjusted the vent caps as far out as possible on each housing.
So, today was the 1st day I drove the truck after doing the above. I drive about an hour and it was 25F this morning. I would had normally definitely had the condensation there by the time I got to work, but today there wasn’t any at all. I’m very happy about that. If I were to guess which one of the four that probably did most of the work, I would have to say the hairdryer. If the condensation comes back at any time in the near future, I will come back here and let you all know. :smileup:
