Clear Corner Condensation!

Clear Corner Condensation!

Postby FLASH » Mon Feb 24, 2003 4:54 pm

I don't get it, I sealed up the corners REALLY good, almost too much and took time and everything, and my left one still got condensation, while the other is fine. Here are some pics of it, its not TOO bad:

Its not too bad right now, but I dont want it to get worse. Is there anyway to fix this problem?

Could a seal have broken? Maybe you could shot some super glue around it, that should seal up any small nooks that may still exist.

BTW where did you get your titanium bulbs from, also what brand are the? And what color are they when they blink?

No seal could have broken I REALLY loaded up and let them dry for 24 hours before installation... :-?
The Bulbs are APC Titaniums, 5.99 each - got em at PepBoys and they light up amber. You can get lots of colors.

Try and shoot some super glue all around, it actually worked when sealing mine up, it wouldn't hurt? BTW does the other side condense too?

About your bulbs are they 3157 or 1157 (wedge base or round base)?

If I did Super Glue them AGAIN, wouldn't I need to dry the inside before doing it? And the otherside is perfectly fine, no condensation.

take the corner off and blow dry it, then pour the super glue around the edges.

If you really want to make sure all moisture is gone take the corners and set them on top of you clothes dryer with the bulb off of it and the hole facing up and let them sit on the dryer when you are drying clothes all the way through a cycle. The warmth will evaporate all the moisture and you wouldn't have the patience to dry them with a hair dryer long enough.
