Sup, my headlight is foggin up, its in the inside. So Ive heard people saying you heat them in the oven and take them apart and clean them or w/e.

but i have some questions

what temp do i cook/bake(?) them to?

how do i re-seal them?

Im a newbie to all this, if someone can just tell me the process of how to do the whole entire process it would be awesome

thanks

ive never done this but i know some people here have but u seal them back up by heating them back up and push it back together. i know that. if its just moisture then u should be able to put like rubbing alcohol in it and swirl it around and dump it out and it should dry up. i heard to do that and i tried it on my 3000gt and it worked kinda but i had shitty alcohol so it was kinda watery so it worked but not super awesome or anything. just my :2cents:

If there is a rubber backing behind your headlight pull it out for a few days, the moisture will dissipate. <---cheapest

to seal it, heat them up and press them together hard. Should do it but I would as a thin layer of clear silicone to beon the safer side.

I would get clear, if you mess up or not do it smooth enough, you wontbe able to tell. If you use white or black, it will stand out like a sore thumb.
