Mustang Headlight Condensation Fix & Headlight Sealing

How To Fix Mustang Headlight Condensation

OEM & Aftermarket headlights can sometimes get moisture in them due to old age or a bad seal. Follow along as we show you how to fix and prevent this common issue!

Headlight Condensation Note

Headlights have vents to accommodate changes in pressure and temperature. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design; moist air can enter the headlamp through the vents, possibly causing condensation. When normal condensation occurs, it will eventually clear during normal operation. A fine mist of condensation is acceptable, with no streaks, drip marks, or large droplets, as long as the mist covers less than 50% of the lens surface.

Sealing your NEW headlights with clear silicone is highly suggested before installation for cheap insurance against leaking.

Tools Needed:

• Silicon
• Rubber Gloves

Installation Instructions

1. Remove your headlights from your car making sure to detach any electrical connections.
   
   
   
   
2. Remove any bulbs that are attached to your headlights.
   
   
   
   
3. Drain any built up water and set your headlights aside to dry out making sure all of the moisture has evaporated. It is not recommended to place in direct sunlight as the water will evaporate too quickly and leave water marks inside your headlight.
   
   
   
   
4. Once the moisture has evaporated, take this time to inspect your headlights and check for any small cracks or holes that will let air in and seal them with clear silicone. It is always a good idea to run a small bead of clear silicone across the top to ensure a good seal and prevent any water from leaking into the headlights.
   
   
   
   
5. Once the silicone has dried, simply re-install your headlights making sure to reconnect any electrical connections and attaching hardware.
   
   
   
   That's it! Enjoy your newly sealed headlights!
