Reseal Headlamps

The seal around headlights tend to break down over time leaving gaps & holes around the headlight. Which causes water, bugs and moisture to enter. If the condensation & moisture in the headlight housing unit builds up to a dangerous level it can cause a electric fault which can effect the whole headlamp or worse effect the whole electric system on a car. The seal around headlight units may become loose or leave a gap in any year & model of car or van. Most modern cars have this problem as there are not sealed air tight unlike older vehicles. As more & more moisture starts to build up it will effect the light output & does certainly make the car look terrible.

Note - Headlight resealing is suspended until further notice sorry for any inconvenience caused.

For now please try these simple steps.

  • Check the headlight air vents are not blocked by dust or leaves as the moisture needs to escape. A quick blow with a air compressor should unblock the air vents.

  • Remove back cover of the headlight for 2 hours that should clear up any moisture in the headlight. Be sure to put it back once the headlamps are dry.

  • Inspect the outer headlight lens for cracks or small holes.

  • If you have replaced your headlight bulbs recently. Have you closed the back headlight cover tight?

  • If your car is quite new be sure to contact it`s manufacturer. Check warranty

Finally - A small patch of condensation during winter is quite normal & should clear up as the temperature rises in the coming weeks.
