Default Foged Headlights



Alrighty, my head lights are foged up in the inside, makeing it that my high beams are just barely as bright as my regular lights would be at. It looks like its imposable to take off the front part of the head light cover to clean it. I think I might have to buy another pair of head light covers but just makeing sure there is no way to clean it before I take that step.</P>

I just made a post about it. From my observations, it doesn't look impossible to remove the lense. It's sealed, but it looks as if you can seperate it and put it back together, and seal the hell out of it.

But it'll probably find it's way back in there and fog the hell out of them again. My solution: I'm going to buy some VHT Nightshade and 'tint' my headlights alittle to hide the foggyness.

Yep, I just use chrome polish. Works great, but the inside is severely fogged....

My 99 jeep kept doing that. The dealer kept replacing them. ha. The jeep had vent tubes on the lamps so any puddle or splash of water on the engine resulted in steam in the engine compartment, which could make its way into the lights.
To de-fog them you can run the lights for a long time to heat them up. Or take the bulbs out and let them equalize with atmospheric moisture levels.
