Default No more leaky headlights. Easy. Use this goop.

Leaky headlights fixed without disassembly by using this crap-

Drop your headlights, clean them in the sink with dishwashing soap, let them dry in the sun.

Put this stuff around every joint and seperaton between the lens and housing, the sight glass for the headlight adjustments and most importantly, underneath the black rubber seal surrounding the headlights you can see outside the car.

I did everything but under the seal, got major fogging even if you mist the headlights washing the car. Put more of this stuff under the black seal, let it dry and no more problems.

Didn't have to disassemble the lights. Now my stuff stays dry even if an elephant pisses on the hood.

1 hour fix total.

Nice I'll remember this post when my new lights eventually do this over time. My old headlights had the moisture problem bad.

just before you chose to use this, be sure the inside of your headlights is at-least half way decent looking..

good find though.
