Before I give my car to my brother, Im making sure theres absolutely nothing wrong with it.

I have headlight condensation, this is after I bought a 2002+ set from somone on the boards who claimed there was no fogging/condensation. sure enough, rain came and its there.


i took both out, and siliconed the seal all around, tightened all the screws.


this is what I am concerned about...


On each headlight, there are 3 ventilation ports.

What I did is i just sealed all 3 of them off.

Assuming that both my headlights are now completely sealed from the outside, will this hurt my headlight system?

I mean, will it overheat, or burn, etc... Is there somthing about those ventilation ports that are absolutely necessary?

I just sealed all 6 holes, if needed, I can take off the seal on 1 or 2, I believe these ports are the root of the problem in the first place.

Please give me input. Thanks

So what were the results with you sealing the vents? any probs?

I think the vents actually prevent condensation. The condensation occurs due to temperature difference inside and out and I think the vents are designed to prevent that. I noticed that one of my headlights fogs sometimes after rain or carwash and it just happens to be the one that has a pinched vent tube.

You actually need the vents. The vents help evaporate water moisture within the lamps. Sealing it actually traps the moisture within, thus causing it to fog.
