[@DCAbsolutJohn1]

Just an extra tip if you really want the light to look good - BEFORE you dry out the inside of the light, you should pour some 90% isopropyl alcohol and/or JetDry on the inside to remove any deposits/spots on the lens left over from the old water. This will ensure you get a nice CLEAN look when you are done.

[@carloslemus2284]

I do realize this is an older video! You could also use some alcohol (or any quality glass cleaner) to clean the inside of the headlight lens after drying it out and than polish the outside so it is clear again. I mean since you have it out, that would be a grand time to do that... Thumbs Up!

That was excellent Chris. I'd never have thought of adding more water or adding pressure. I tried to separate my lens from the mirror and it cracked the glass. My leak was a stone-chip hole in the lens, which I used chop-sticks to glue the glass-chip back in place, on the inside, through the bulb hole. I used a funnel attached to a hair-dryer to blow warm air directly inside through the bulb hole. Thanks again. D.

[@ACLTony]

Big thumbs up. Excellent and well presented tutorial. Thank you for sharing this. Saves the hassle that some people experience of tossing the headlight housing and paying big bucks for replacements from the dealership. Older Fords and GM vehicles were especially notorious for headlight leaks. Tips from ASE certified mechanics suggested drilling pilot holes on the bottom for drainage.

For drying you could pull the vent cap, put the bulb back in and light the bulb. No risk of overheating you headlight since it's a expected working condition (except for the H2O inside). This is also a quick way to dry your headlight before going to a vehicle inspection.

[@mattb9748]

You maybe could as long as the water vapor has a way to escape and doesn't condense again.

[@ApprenticeGM]

That's a great video for the repair - thanks. When I did it, the inside of my headlight was a bit dirty, so I filled with water + soap and got a small soft brush in there and cleaned it a couple of times, rinsed, and dried with a microfibre cloth inserted through the bulb hole and a soft plastic stick to push the cloth around. It cleaned up really well and looked good after sealing and re-installing. I used a silicon sealant that was rated for high temperature (it was a roofing silicone product) and also UV resistant.

ANOTHER GREAT FIX BY CHRIS

[@246spyder]

Did not read all of the comments so I will add this. You said that one should not touch the bulbs, here's why and what to do if you do. This info is for all high intensity style bulbs whether used on the vehicle, in the home, and or as garden lights. Your fingers will leave an oily residue that will create a hot spot that will shorten the bulbs life. When ever you do handle these kind of bulbs always use tissue and after replacing the bulb clean it using alcohol and a lit free cloth to remove any of the fingerprints.

[@michaelmartinez6733]

Thank you for making this clear,ALWAYS was told THAT yet not ever sure the exact reason why, so again thank you.

You could point a shop vac at the headlamp opening when you apply the caulk to help it penetrate the hole.

Why not just seal the entire thing. Chances are it’s gonna start leaking elsewhere being that it’s an old headlight. And after unclipping and removing the whole thing you might as well. Juss sayin. Also, the headlamp “hole” sometimes gets warped by the heat which doesn’t allow the bulb to “sit” correctly an thus creates a gap. Good video. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

[@mattb9748]

People have said to rinse with distilled water to avoid water spots and I agree with this. The other thing you can do in the process while you have it out is to put a couple of drops of liquid dish detergent in the hole and fill it halfway with water and swish it around really good. This will help clean the inside of the lamp if it's older and his hazy on the inside, although it won't fix the outside of course if it's yellowed. Do not try to wipe the inside of the headlamp with anything. The silver coating on the reflector is very fragile and we'll get damaged. Just swish around some soapy water, rinse very well, and do the final rinse with distilled water.

[@peloteroification]

Yes i agree. Split it open, clean out the old glue, freshen the surface, and apply new glue, or silicone caulk.

[@WJHandyDad]

that also makes it easier to thoroughly dry out the inside and clean up the lens if needed

Some lamps are glued so good in places they will break where you don't want it to. Would be nice if the manufacturers would start using glass again and using better seals. Worth the extra cost.

[@cvcoco]

logic says you are right but in reality if you split it open it will never glue back perfectly and you'll have more than one leak later. Shops previously advised me to do it like chris did or replace the whole thing. The act of splitting it open distorts both surfaces and it wont be right again.

2014’s Chris hasn’t heard about the safety gloves and glasses, yet

[@ChrisD4335]

why would you need those to remove two clips by hand and apply a small amount of caulk.

[@jimjarvis4522]

excellent demo on how to find leak and how to dry lamp interior with hair dryer

I have been fixing glass housings since I was 19 years old. The fix is quite simple. I did this on all my friends Fords. Take a drill with the second smallest bit and drill at the very bottom of the case on the curve two holes. Now drill one at the top right. They are invisible to the eye, water will not get in air will get in and in a day all the vapor is gone forever! Never replace with new, the fix is so easy.
