How to Deal with Water in Car Lights?
2 Answers
The methods to deal with water in car lights are: 1. If the water intake is large and cannot drain on its own, forming accumulated water, remove the lamp cover to unclog the drainage hole; 2. If water droplets are hanging inside the lamp cover, park the car in a ventilated area to allow natural drying. The reasons for water in car lights are: 1. Moisture enters the lamp through the vent pipe and adheres to the lamp cover; 2. Poor sealing of the car light's seal cover. The maintenance methods for car lights are: 1. Use bulbs compatible with the vehicle model, as inferior bulbs can pose risks; 2. Inspect bulbs every two years to avoid affecting driving illumination and causing safety hazards; 3. Adjustment and replacement of headlights should be done at professional shops or brand 4S stores.
Car lights got water inside? This is quite common, don't panic and drive too fast. I've encountered this a few times, and I recommend safely stopping to check immediately: Open the rear cover or cap of the light to see how much water is inside. If it's just mist, turning on the lights might help evaporate it. However, if there's serious water accumulation, first use a dry cloth or a hairdryer on low heat to dry the interior; be careful not to overheat and damage the parts. The key is to find the leak: it could be a cracked lens, aged or loose seals, or drainage holes clogged with dust. For DIY, you can use a soft brush to clean the drainage holes and try applying some waterproof glue. But the safest option is to visit a 4S shop or a professional repair shop for inspection and replacement to avoid corroding the circuits or burning out the bulbs. Regularly pay attention to the area around the lights when washing the car to prevent water and mud buildup.
