Thread: Misty headlights.

Take the globes out and park the car facing the sun. (You do get sun around your way?) Hair dryers can also be pressed into service to remove moisture via the globe holes.

Drive around with them on...

Solved it on my D1 haha (ended up replacing it)

no, cause when they cool down, the moisture in the air will condensate.


fix:

take them out, open them up, lets them dry under the aircon

next put them outside overnight in a cold but dry place. i used the laundry

then put them back together.

Bee utey, it's currently raining and doesn't look like stopping
Also, not driving it at the moment as there's lots of bits missing from it and I won't really have an option to until the expo
Eevo, how "open" did you open yours? Just remove the bulbs?

to be honest ive done it on my bmw and s14, not the disco.

i took the whole headlight out, then generally its made of 2 parts, the front glass bit and the rear plastic housing.

these two were held together by clips. undo the clips and presto!

check the rave pdf.

D2 lights seem to be sealed between the reflector and the lens but I'll have a squiz.

if it doesnt come apart, take the bulbs out and do what i posted area. will take longer for the moisture to escape as its a smaller hole.

You just need to seal them when they are cold and dry. Hot air will hold more moisture than cold air. As hot air cools, humidity turns to moisture. That's where fog comes from (I know all about fog, I'm from Bathurst). The colder and drier you can get them the better. Then put the bulb and the rubber cap on.


Happy Days.
