LiamGTR Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 The water will take months to evaoprate!? I've got some moisture in my n/s projector headlight and it's been there for months now, and it's been good weather here apart from 1 or 2 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt say "fill it", any person with a drip of common sense knew I was referring to a splash at most. 2. The water in your light doesnt evaporate cos its got nowhere to evaporate too you numpty southern bum bandit....THE HEADLIGHTS A SEALED ATMOSPHERE, it evaporates - condenses - pools again then does it all over again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just take to them with a bottle brush and then rinse them out and empty them so they only need a little evaporation? as for the exterior, maybe try VERY VERY fine wet and dry paper (wet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are holes in the rear that "should" have rubber tubes coming from them to prevent misting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldoofy Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 i re did my supra lights (when i had it) by using cutting compound on the front of the lenses with a 12 v random orbital then progressing to finer grades of polish they looked spot on after that. i suppose you could do it by hand but it would take longer.
