I seem to be having a condensation problem with all 4 of my front headlights more frequently than I have in the past. I get them dried out thoroughly and then when it rains again, they fog up with moisture on the inside of the lenses. I'm assuming that other people have had this problem before? What are the remedies? I figure that since the lenses themselves are not cracked, that the only place the moisture is coming through is around the large rubber seal on the back by the bulb. This used to be an infrequent occurrence, but latey has become a major pain in the arse. Thoughts, advice or comments?

 

Same thing happen to me.. I had to heat up and serperate the lights twice. I finally drilled a couple small holes in the lense and no more condensation.

 

the sealant cracks over time and moisture sneaks in from behind the bumper. youve mentioned the rubber seals and thats another very common source for moisture to sneak in.

 

I took off the front bumper and removed the assemblies from the car and drilled some small holes in the bottom of them. Now, I'm looking into maybe just replacing both of the assemblies with new ones since they are a little old and scratched up. The lenses are pretty clear though since I've been using Meguiars plastic/headlight polish on them for a few years now. That stuff is pretty inexpensive and does an awesome job. Bad thing is that since they aren't yellow or hazy, they show all the scratches from road debris. New OEM Acura lights are around $1000 per pair so that's a little high in my opinion. EBAY has alot of the cheap "Halo Projector" lights for around $100 for the pair but I have a feeling that the quality is pretty low and that I'll be getting what I pay for. I did find a set on EBAY for $500 from a place called Parts Pros. They're an OEM replacement style light and have 99.7% positive on feedback since 2001. Thoughts?

 

You can buff the scratches out with rubbing compound, then apply polish.
