Welp, I have to say so far, my aftermarket clear lenss are still clear as a whistle and no moisture buildup. I have changed bulbs several times during testing to see what bulbs work best. But I have to agree with HS about blowing out the existing comtaminated gases from the headlights will work. But you have to make sure the air can you buy from the computer stores are not the freon type can air. You don't want any type of freon gas to replace the existing gas in the lens. Once you start heating up the freon type gas, it reacts to the temperature change alot more than existing air in the environment. It can blow out your seals in the lens and even cause damage to the lens inside or cause the bulb to prematurely burn out. Freon has slight oily residue which is bad for hot bulbs.

You will have to use either 100% CO2 or Nitrogen gas to blow into the lens housing to purge the moisture comtaminated air out. It may take up to 1/2 a can to do this to get it all out.

But a good recommendation when you change your bulbs, don't wait too long between the bulb changeouts to prevent moisture getting into the lens. Best time to change bulbs is on a good dry day if possible.

 

That's what I was talking about Kensai.

 

were can i get cheap after market headlights mine are all broken from tree love haha vrooom vroooooooom smash... bank account shrinks

 

Well, we can all learn I guess. Never in my life have I ever heard (or worried about) the air inside my headlights. I don't think I am going to deal with it other than ignoring it but it is certainly something new to think about.

I replaced both headlight housings and never had a problem with water/condensation behind the lens. I think I may have had a better-made one cause they came with a j-shaped hose to stabilize the humidity in the housing.

 

They have those sweet LED turn signal ones but personally the Halo ones I don't care for. My favorite ones are the black inlayed.

 

You mean the one-pieces? They're a PITA to install. I personally like the two-piece.

 

me too, much nicer to look at (when its on the right person)

 

I didn't know they were a PITA to do?..... I like the look and was thinking about going to it.
