I bought some really clean lookin aristo headlights like a month ago. today it was rainin over here in cali and i noticed only my left headlight had water in it. not just slight condensation, but like water droplets, lots of em. how would i go about fixin that. like how do i find the hole to seal it up. or wat should i do?

You have to take out the headlight and just put sealant around the entire housing if you can't see a wet spot where the water is getting in.

how about the water in it? do i just let that dry, then seal it?

yeah def let the water dry out...or wipe it down at least, you don't want to leave it moist in there

A good way to make sure its dry inside is to heat the headlight in the oven, take it apart, dry it real nice (cause if you seal it with water, it'll fog up whenever its warm out), and seal it back together. Its not hard at all, just check out some of the threads on clearing the corners of headlights and you'll find DIY for taking them apart.

good luck!

lol i tried to take apart my old gs healdights, i got them apart but i melted some parts that shouldnt have been melted and i basically ruined them . are there any shops that will do it, or anyone in the area willing to do it

the oven I would not suggest. I used a heating gun.

Just Remove The 3 Screws Covering The Headlight And Unscrew The Clear Plastic Cap To Let The Condensation Evaporate It Should Only Take A Day Or 2 You

i think ill try that first before i bake em, or use heat gun. thanks

or just put it in the oven long enough to get the water out. Thats what i did, then sealed it up.

if i do that, will the inside of the headlight be cloudy from the water that was in there, or will it be clear?

mine turned out clear, i think, but i wet-sanded and polished them after too. just make sure that you take out all the bulbs and everything you dont want to get ruined in the oven. also with everything out of the headlights, it makes it open for air circulation so i think that helps too!

or if your nervous to do that, try taking them off and take everything off and like other said, just let the sun dry out the water, but it may take a while to do that.
