HELP!! Need Loyale Headlamp cleanup info!!


Recommended Posts

Hi ALL!

 

I live in Massachusettes. I'm trying to get my 1992 Loyale Wagon to pass Mass inspection! The inspector guy gave me a brake... and told me I need to clean up the moisture that has collected behind my drivers headlamp! I know this IS a classic Loyale problem! I don't want to replace the headlamp! ANYONE got a good fix for removing this moisture that creeps in! I've done this before with mixed results! Their must be a good way to do this!!!

 

Many thanks to you ALL!!!!

I had the same problem with my 92 Loyales headlights.

Here's the way I fixed it...

 

1. disconnect the bulb and remove it from the lense assembly.

2. remove the headlight assembly from the car

3. use 90% rubbing alachol to "clean" the inside of the lens. You can pour in and drain the alachol through the light-bulb hole.

4. use a hair dryer (or low pressure air hose) to dry the inside of the lense.

5. use some clear GE silicone to re-seal the glass to the metal on the lense.

6. Let dry

7. reassemble.

 

Now... providing your light bulb holder still has a good gasket on it, there should be no more moisture problems. If not get a new O-ring to re-seal the bulb into the lense assembly.

 

:D
