Headlights Fogging Up
#1
<a href='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v447/laidman/83dc7532.jpg'>[Image: 83dc7532.jpg]</a>
So I've got these headlights, the one is great, no problems, the other side has an issue with moisture getting inside. Even though I was told when I bought them that it would happen, theone lens gets completly full of moisture on the inside, to the point that a puddle forms on the bottom. Now I've tried resealing the entire unit, with no change, I even used the silica packets that keep all moisture out (the same that you would find in new shoe boxes).
What I wanna know is there any way to split the headlight into the two origonal peices that is was, before the factory seals were applied. only so then I could proplerly seal it. Any help would be appreciated

As long as the lenses are attached the same way the stock lights are, you should be able to follow any of the how-to guides for doing the &quot;SVT headlight mod&quot; where people take apart their stock headlights and paint the chrome/darkgray part black. I think it mainly amounts to heating up the seam around the lense so you can pry it apart. Some people suggest putting it in the oven, I'm not sure about that.

But if you're using a heat gun, make sure you watch the heat level and how long you hold it on one place, because if you melt/warp the lense it wont go back on right, and definitely wont ever seal again. It could be tricky but it's not supposed to be TOO hard.
