The Dude Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Has anyone ever removed the front bumper cover on a 2006 Forester? The driver's side headlight housing is 2/3 full of water. Apparently to get to the headlight housing I have to remove the front bumper cover. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru Scott Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 DUDE! 2/3 full, you should be able to just pull the bulb out and get most of it out. Then just tape a small hose to a wetvac to suck out the rest. Then look for where the waters getting in and seal that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNY_Dave Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 My son has an '06 forester, there is a lot of condensation in both headlights. No lakes in there yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I had to use some polyseamseal or similar to push into the seam on top of the OBW's left tail light. seems to have stopped the infiltration so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Drill a 1/8" hole in the lowest corner in the bottom of the lens.

thook44 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 drill the hole. had to do that with my 4runner headlights....although in the housing since the lens is glass. sealed up everywhere else with rtv, but now not even condensation can build up. the heat from the lamp keeps it burned off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
