Booo condensation ( in my jdm headlight) - Honda Prelude Forum

Booo , i got alot of condensation in my driver's side JDM headlight. My dad drives the car on the weekdays, but since its thanksgiving break, i drove the car today and it was the first thing I noticed. I was like WTFFFFF, I now have to take the bumper off and take that whole headlight apart. I took a look behind and around it, no cracks or anything, how water got in there is a puzzle.

The only way i can think of is because i dont have any harnesses, i just have a it ghetto wired, so maybe the water got in that way?? But that would mean lots and lots of water getting under the hood which seems unlikely.

Hopefully i can dry it without taking it apart, but we'll see.

Anyone else have this problem?

There's a water valve on the top outside corner, it's got a rubber hose. Make sure thats connected. I noticed a stock 4G with condensation in it so it's not unheard of. Whatever you do make sure to test it before reinstalling the bumper. Having done the bumper myself I know how much hassle it is.

What did you do with your USDM black housings?

To get the current condensation out quick just open the bulb harness and blast the inside with a hairdryer until there is no more water. Then seal it back up, and make sure the vent tube is clear. Then your set...

Glad to see you back. I would just do what Tyler suggested and dry it out and seal it back up.
