NightWind 4th Gear April 26, 2014 Share April 26, 2014 Bro its NOT NORMAL. R u using halogens or xenons? Nvm either ways its not normal I suspect they installed the fitting badly so when it rains or when u wash car moisture entered. Get the garage to fix it immediately pls BTW which garage did it pls? I will avoid them lol Hi everyone!I just installed my headlights a few hours ago and it already started misting up!The garage told me "misting up is normal, but if water gets in we'll replace it."Is this the way it's supposed to be? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneCatFish 3rd Gear April 26, 2014 Share April 26, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone! I just installed my headlights a few hours ago and it already started misting up! The garage told me "misting up is normal, but if water gets in we'll replace it." Is this the way it's supposed to be? If you just installed few hours ago, and never gone through car wash, rain, etc, it could because water (or water vapor) was somehow trapped inside the headlight before the installation. If the workshop refuse to do anything for you, and you are in suck thumb situation, I suggest you loosen the rubber cover of the bulb housing, this is the rubber cover behind the headlight housing in the engine bay side. Doing so is basically to give escape path for the water vapor, leave the headlight on for may be, 30min, to heat up the headlight, and let the water vapor escape, then put back the rubber cover, hopefully can solve the problem. If the misting comes back again, especially after rain or car wash, there's definite water leak. Do whatever you can to get the workshop to replace the headlight.
