Help with Headlights

[indkezra]

On one of my headlights I have moisture that is beading up behind the plastic. Any simple solution to get rid of the moisture and prevent it from happening again? (I drilled holes in the caps on the opposite side for my hid lights, idk if that is what is causing it.) Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

yessir fill the holes back in. (wait til the moisture is gone first)

[indkezra]

what should i fill them with electric tape? And could i use like a hairdryer or heat gun to make it evaporate quicker?

Epoxy

How big did you make the holes???? If they aren't to big use some glue or epoxy.
Tape I don't think would do any good.

turning the lights on would work better than a hair dryer since its creating and reflecting heat inside the headlight housing..

you could use some calking or seam sealer as well if the holes are too big. Seam sealer may be your best choice.

These are the occasions where I like to take out the good old gasket maker tube.

RTV ftw! So many uses.

damn, I can't believe I forgot about RTV. I use that stuff all the time too.

Well the only reason I use it all the time is because when I was turbo I bought a crapload of them and always lost the tube.... When I cleaned up my garage this winter after the engine swap, I found about a dozen of them with maybe 30% of stuff left inside, ha.

The HID bulbs didn't come with a built in rubber grommit to cover that hole?
Here's a pic:

nope i got the slim ballast ones off of ebay and nothing was included to fill the hole up. i still have moisture btw, i guess ive got to wait for a warm sunny day because a heatgun didnt do anything.

i've got moisture built up before, i took off the headlights let it sit in the sun with all caps off to let the moisture evaporate out ...........after that i resealed the area where the back plastic and the clear plastic meet with a clear silicon sealer and that helped

Yeah, so I got effed over when I got the 5000k bulbs. They didn't include that nice rubber grommit. Grrrr. Any idea of anyone sells something like that?
