Condensation in headlights

[DannyMK2]

i just took the vent caps off permanently. seems to have solved it for me.

My passenger side is permanently fogged up and does not go away at all.

The drivers side doesn't fog at all.

When I upgrade my bulbs I am going to check the vents and possibly put silicone around the headlight.

Mine do the same thing. I've only owned it for about r months.

Same thing happened to my headlights the morning after I got my truck not as bad but it goes away

 

[Sir John]

Yeah, like I said, I bet a huge majority do it. That's evident by the fact that Chrysler even puts a note in the owner's manual.

 

[Sir John]

I don't even see why anyone gives a crap. It doesn't cause issues with using headlights, and it doesn't ruin, or break anything. Seems like a silly reason to discuss a fix for something that's not broken. What gives?

I don't why people like you even bother posting in the forums. There's a simple solution, don't read the threads that do not pertain to you. Certainly don't waste your time commenting on them.

The "technical" fix for this is to remove the head light, the brown bump stop looking things are vent covers, pull them off, check the vents for obstructions, then put them back on where they are on just enough where they won't fall off. Chances are this won't fix anything. Your best bet is to use a hair dryer and dry out the inside of the head light, toss in a silicon packet and add silicone around the head light.

Yup, that's pretty much what I list out in my "fix" thread from 2 yrs ago.

Mine does the exact same thing ... it sucks ... I learned to live with it.

Would it be better to completely seal the housing?

If you're talking about where the clear part meets the black part of the housing, then no.....I did that and it did not fix it.

you mean sealing the vents? no.....then it can't breathe - it would be worse.

Where are the vents? Any pics? Mine haven't had any condensation yet, but I just had them out of the truck again and it probably wouldn't have hurt to make sure they are open enough

 

[0212353]

they are the brown round things on the back.

Remove those, pull the inserts out. Put inserts on the hole, then push the brown things back on - but not as tight.

these things with the brownish-orange caps...

ok, that's what I thought. Thanks for the picture

 

[Honeybadger556]

Alright so I tried adjusting the caps on the back and it did nothing. Drivers side is fine and I have never seen condensation in there before. Passenger side will not get better. Super frustrating because it looks like crap!

If it makes ya feel any better....

 

[Honeybadger556]

Yours looks way better than mine. Mine fogs up the whole inside from top to bottom and drips down.

 

[Rzrman328]

Plus the fact that mine were completely ripped open lol

It's pretty crappy that you guys with the oem's do this.
