    Default Fogged up Headlight

    I have a 98 prelude sh and one of the headlights got fogged up and has some water in it. I was driving for a couple of hours through a bad rain storm and i thought it would go away after a few days but it didn't. any suggestions? i dont want to have to bake the head light.

    Either bake and reseal it or drill a few little holes in the bottom of the lens so that it can air out without water getting in.

    baking it would be your best option man... it would get all the water out.

    Pepboys may carry the headlight sealer. You can heat it up, pull it apart and reseal it

    i read on another forum that u can put like rubbing alcohol in it and swirl it around since it will dry up. i tried it on my 3000gt lights and it kidna worked but i had bad alcohol so it didnt dry up too well. i dont know if it might damage the finish of anything but i didnt have a problem.

    maybe you could take a blow dryer to the inside of it to try to dry it up like that.
