For safety use 3M yellow automotive tape to protect nearby paint. It can withstands surface temperatures up to 225°F/107°C for 30 minutes. Also get much faster results if you take out the bulbs. We place our heat storm tradesman lamp on a tripod over the area, and come check on it occasionally until it's all cleared up (10min.). This is a common fix for repairing pre sale flooded vehicles.

Water condensation comes back next morning. You have to clean inside too.

temporarily turns liquid water into water vapor which is invisible and will obviously condense back to water later. def did not 'get rid of the moisture' smh

Did you have the cover at the back off so the Warm.air can escape with the moisture or did you keep the cover on?

I used a hair dryer and it worked great took out all the moisture took about 10 min. I did not open up anything on the back. And there was a lot of moisture in it, I assume the moisture went out the back vent.

fantastic. would you also recommend to drill a tiny whole at the bottom of light where there is no bulb or electronics to help remove that moisture quicker?

heating it wil only vaporise the water in the air when it cools down it will stick again, you should open it and suck the warm moisturerized air out with a vaccum cleaner

Just throw some silica gel packets in that bitch, keeps it clear for a couple months then replace it.

All you did was evaporate the water for a few moments. Water..which you just turned to water vapor is still in the light fixture. It will condense on the glass again. Problem not solved.

Do this in a controlled environment and then let fully dry out. Then inspect for leaks or where the condensation is coming in and seal.

He did say at start not a permanent fix. Would need to be sealed to do it properly. That's my two pence worth.

Mines does too for some reason. I believes mines due to possibly headlight wasn’t snug tight in there and the weather in my city is inconsistent from Jan-April. With that being said the moisture buildup is where it’s water in the assembly. I’ve been hoping for an 90 degree day and a whole lot of sunlight to do it’s job but haven’t got that weather as of yet.

This guy is wrong. Doing what he’s doing is too much work. All you have to do is open the back of the headlight cover. Let it sit overnight open to the outside air. When you wake up, condensation will be gone and all you have to do is put the cap back on. While it’s doing its work go and enjoy some libation. That’s exactly what I did.
