Did you try my technique? It's FREE and it works! Gluing headlights might actually make the problem WORSE because the problem is caused in the first place when water condenses but is not able to evaporate. The more you seal your headlight units, the more water gets trapped. The units are not designed to be SEALED. They are designed to keep water out. That is different than an airtight seal. Plastic channels water away without sealing. If you seal them, you're sealing in the air that is full of moisture. You want the headlights to breath. Think of the headlight like a soldier's tent. Soldier wants to stay dry. Tent is made out of canvas. So how does the soldier stay dry? With VENTILATION. Tent sheds water, so doesn't need to be waterproof. Vents keep the tent aired out. That's exactly what headlight units do. THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH HOLES IN THEM. They would not have the holes if they were supposed to be sealed airtight. So stop sealing the plastic. Also, check the vent holes in the back and make sure they are not clogged which would impede air flow and evaporation. Also make sure you are running regulation headlight bulbs. If you run different bulbs, they might run too cool for spec, and the lack of heat is keeping the moisture from evaporating. Most important, though, TRY MY TECHNIQUE. It works.

No front end collisions. Only damage this vehicle has sustained has been a couple of door dings. There has never been a repair/paint that would cause "dripmarks." I think you may be referring to the bubbling in the paint. That is called "osmotic blistering" which can occur on an aluminum vehicle for a number of reasons. In this case, I think it's just poor engineering/manufacturing/quality control on the part of Dodge. These vehicles happen to have aluminum hoods, while the rest of the sheet metal is steel.

I envy you. I wish a company would come out with a line of vehicles that focus on repairability and reliability without unnecessary expensive features. There is no reason we couldn't design a vehicle that lasts indefinitely-just replace the components that wear out.

Glad to hear the video helped you!

Glad you liked the video!

@@Lookie-Lookie just did it tonight on my F150, worked like a charm!!!

@@DieselArcher Sweet!

I bought the one in this video at Target. It's more of a "fashion milk crate," and looks cool, but it not as strong. …but strong enough? For a more commercial/industrial milk crate, try the one I got on Amazon.com at amzn.to/47y3dhN

That's what I like to hear!

Couldn't agree more! …scooters, electric bikes… We should be designing our transportation systems around these vehicles, not SUVs. My next toy will be a Honda Trail 125, and then maybe an electric bike/motorcycle of some kind.

Another satisfied customer or something!

Bruh, increase playback speed or skip ahead. Or don't you have Premium?!? Bruh, you gotta get premium, bruh! Damn, bruh.

Try my technique!

@@Lookie-Lookie I just popped the bulb out and let the headlights sit in the sun for an hour.

@@nolongeramused8135 Sometimes that's all it takes. Other times the warm air re-cools and the moisture in the air condenses back onto the inside of the headlight unit. Replacing the air with fresh air makes that less likely, but it's not always necessary. Hope your results are permanent.

Wow! And the water just keeps coming back? What is your city and state? (climate) Have you had a lot of humidity or rain lately? Do you drive through a lot of puddles? Is there any chance your plastic splash shielding underneath your front end has been cracked/broken?

Are you driving through puddles a lot? You might have a cracked headlight assembly. Although my technique works great, sometimes I replace headlight assemblies, usually not because of moisture, but instead because of yellow and scratched plastic. Search Amazon.com for the year, make, model, of your vehicle, along with keywords, "headlight." In the search results, look for products that have good reviews, lots of reviews, etc. For my vehicle, I recently replaced both headlight units for under $100. Yeah, I had to take the front bumper cover off to get at all the bolts, but it was worth it. Of course this would also fix you moisture problem while making the front end of your vehicle look like new. If you go this route, you can find KZbin videos that show you how to replace headlight assemblies for your year, make, and model. Let me know how it goes.

Glad you found it useful!

When I got mine inspected they offered to install a new headlight for only $300 😅

@@nekrophiliak I bought 2 brand new headlight assemblies on amazon for under $100, not because of condensation, but because they were so old and yellow and scratched. Took 30 minutes to replace them. Some models are even cheaper. There are KZbin videos for every make and model.

Glad the video helped you.

​@@Lookie-LookieMy model headlights were $80 apiece, but the real issue is I have to drop the bumper down, was just looking for an easier solution and this was it!

😂

Glad it helped!

Insignias are terrible for that, my drl stopped working and its non serviceable l. Had to cut out the led driver to replace it and reseal it or a new light would have been £800!

It happens. Moisture reappeared in mine one time, too. Second time was a charm. It's been clear ever since. Inspect the headlight assembly and look for cracks that might be allowing moisture to enter. If you have a cracked headlight assembly, you can replace the entire part pretty cheaply, and there are how-to videos on KZbin for most makes/models/years. If you do that, I recommend replacing both sides. I'm replacing headlights on a vehicle in the near future, and all parts are $200. Not bad.

Not much needed. Most people have a vacuum cleaner. Other than that, all you need is a little duct tape and a length of hose from the local hardware store. You can do it!!!

@@Lookie-Lookie seen a video a someone drilling a whole in bottom seemed easier the removal of the bulbs and attachments. Ur right tho 👍

@@Barryupgraded I wouldn't drill holes in your headlight assembly. For one thing, water will be able to splash up into the unit and make things worse, unless you are very careful and thoughtful about where you place the hole. Also, it still won't stop moist air from entering. The problem in the first place is caused by moist air that condenses forming moisture droplets on the surface inside, and that can still happen if there is a hole drilled in the bottom. Remember, your headlight assembly already has holes (vents). Adding another hole will probably not help, especially if it is a tiny one. Best thing to do is make sure the existing vent holes are clear and then dry out the inside.

No, these are traditional moc toe work boats with no lining. On the inside, you see the suede side of the same leather you see on the outside.

Glad to be helpful. Happy riding!

Glad to be helpful. Good luck!

Youbetcha!

Did it come back?

Update?

If the problem is recurring, you might have a crack in your headlight unit, or an open seam, that is allowing water to enter too easily. When the problem recurs too frequently, replacing the headlight unit might be a better option. Cost can be surprisingly low, and installation can be surprisingly easy, but it depends on the year, make, and model, of your vehicle. Search KZbin for "replace headlight" and the year, make, and model, and you will get an idea for how easy it is. An Amazon search for "headlight" and the year, make, and model, will find aftermarket replacement options that can be as low as $50 or lower, but it depends. My solution shown in the video is for occassional issues and would not be convenient for constant recurring issues. If you can identify a crack or open seal, you also might try sealing with silicon, but personally I would rather replace the unit at that point.

I can't recommend any of those other brands you mentioned. If you read the reviews, there are a lot of complaints about them coming apart, either the stitching or the soles. This is typical of companies who are trying to copycat the veterans but don't have the track record to know how to make a boot that last. Some of them, if you look closely in their product photos, you can see stitching that looks like soft white cotton thread. Whatever it is, it doesn't look durable. Here's my take… Either go with a "heritage" boot from an established brand with leather welt so you know you're getting a REAL boot, or go modern. And if you go modern, you can't beat Timberland Pro (amzn.to/4dmU1iB) or Keen (amzn.to/3y6LQXL). Both are great for comfort, durability, and style.

And what if you don’t have ONE?

Mock moc! Mock moc! 😂

One possibility is your new bulbs don't run as hot, and the heat of the previous bulbs helped clear the moisture. People see this issue sometimes when they switch to LED bulbs which run cooler (albeit usually brighter). You should still be fine. Just locate the vents on the back of the headlight units. There will be at least one, maybe multiple. Consult the service manual for your vehicle for clues. But you should be able to find them by visually inspecting the back of the headlight units. Make sure all vents are clear of debris. Having clear vents helps the air flow in and out of the headlight unit to clear condensation. And, of course, to help hurry the clearing of the condensation, watch this video for tips on how to use a vacuum and/or a hair dryer to speed up the clearing of the moisture.

I answer most questions within minutes. If you see a comment that is a year old with no reply, please let me know which comment you are referring to. To answer your question… There are multiple ways water can find its way inside a headlight unit. The most common way is through condensation. All air has water droplets (humidity) in it. When the air is very humid (a lot of water content), that air can enter the headlight unity through the vents, which are little holes in the back of the headlight unity that allows air to move in and out. At first you will not see the water because it is vapor in the air. But if the temperature then drops significantly, that water content can precipitate, just like when rain droplets form from humid air when the temperature changes. That's how the water usually gets in there. But that usually isn't a problem because of the vents. The purpose of the vents is to allow air to move in and out. So, when there are water droplets, it should only be temporary, because eventually drier and/or warmer air moves in through the vents, and the water evaporates into that new air. However, sometimes that ventilation stops working if the vents are clogged with dust and/or spider webs. When vents are clogged, there is no way for fresh air to move in and absorb the moisture. When that happens, the water droplets take much longer to evaporate, and sometimes they never do. So the solution is to clear out the vents. Look at the back of the headlight units and you should find holes. Sometimes the vent holes have rubber vent hole covers. You dealer or repair shop can help you locate them, as can the owner's manual. Once the vents are cleared, the water will start to evaporate, but the process can be a slow one, and some people do not want to wait. So that's where my vacuum and hair dryer technique can help speed up the process. There are other ways moisture can enter the headlight units, too. If a unit is cracked, water can drain right into the unit. When that happens, you can either seal the cracks/seams with silicone, or you can replace the headlight units. There are replacement units out there made by third party companies that can be much less expensive than parts sold by the original auto manufacturer. Once I replaced both headlight units on a 2008 Chevrolet Equinox because the plastic was too hazy and yellow from the sun's UV damage. I found the parts on Amazon and replaced both for a total cost of only $92, and to this day both lights are nice clear plastic and look like new. So you have a lot of options.

It doesn't have to be. But if it looks like more than you want to tackle, you might try my other technique.

Doesn't really matter what size you use, as long as you can fit it into the vent hole. I used a tubing from Ace Hardware that is used for drain applications, like to drain water from a dehumidifier and route it to a drain, etc. It comes in various diameters. It's soft and flexible so it fits through the small vent holes. I would check out your vent holes and figure out what is the biggest tubing that would fit-the bigger the better. I think mine was like 1/2" diameter or some such. Let us know how it goes!

@@Lookie-Lookie yes thank you I will update you when I try your technique out this Friday I appreciate it so much and thank you for replying so quickly enjoy the rest of your day 🙂

@@Lookie-Lookie I was able to use the tubing and vacuum yesterday without the blow dryer and it worked very well all the water was out and fog gone within about an hour maybe a little longer. However after returning home later I noticed a little water and fog back but I know when I use the blow dryer and vacuum this Friday the results will be much better with the flow of the warm air coming in from the blow dryer So thank you very much for your video it saved me money and I was able to replace my low and high beam bulbs with new LED lights.

​@@tinifutribe3274Glad it worked. If you continue to see condensation, look for cracks in the headlight unit. That could be causing moisture to enter more quickly. If you find cracks, seal them with silicone. If there are no cracks, and the moisture continues to return, it could be that your vents need to be cleaned out. So look for spider webs, debris, etc, that could be causing the vents to impede the flow of air flow. A little condensation from time to time is normal, but it should clear itself if the vents are open. Worst case scenario, you can sometimes replace your headlight units very cheaply depending on what car you drive. On a different vehicle, I replaced both headlight units for less than $200, and all I had to do was access a few screws with a screwdriver to remove the old ones and replace them with new ones. Do a Google search for the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and the word headlights, and you will find options. Do a similar search on KZbin to get how-to videos on removal and replacement. For some vehicles, it is not worth the bother because they are hard to remove and replace, but many vehicles make it easy, so it's an option.

@@Lookie-Lookie Thank you I will definitely look out for all of that and do my research please don’t stop the videos we all need it 😂 have a great day
