Buddythedog Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 My Loyale, and all the ones here in Northern New Mexico that I see, the Left headlight is filled with condensation. I took the thing out and applied sealant around it's perimeter. Nada. Silly question, but any answers, it just really bothers me.:boohoo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeky Moose Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 if its not cracked and you applied sealant around the glass/plastic edge then i'd say check the rubber gasket on the headlight itself where it screws into the assembly.. if thats worn or gone, it will draw moisture.. you can use a blow dryer to get the moisture out of the headlight assembly if ya take it off as well..

Snowman Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 All four of mine tend to get condensation in the left headlight as well. It must be a design flaw that makes that one lose its seal over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhellan Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 My vote is for time and temperature over damage. My 19 year old Wagon had been idle for the 8 years prior to me buying it, and lightly driven the 11 years before that. (19 years and 41000 miles). The front leftmost light (there are four) worked on high beam only and was 1/3 full of water when I went to replace it, but there was no obvious damage to the lamp. So, now I assume that condensate seeped along the inside of a dried and shrunken 19 year old seal over several wet seasons and resulted in both the water and the filament failure.:cornfuzz: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danbob99 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 lol, i've never had that problem, but i'm remembering a story that one of my buddys told me. He had an old honda civic (pos) but his rear tailights gathered water in it. And when i say water, i don't mean condensation, i mean they were about halfway up on the light full of water. He tried and tried to open it and keep the water in it so he could start a little fish tank in his tail light, but to no success. The fish wouldn't have lived anways, no way to feed them. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
