What to Do When Headlights Get Water Inside?

[LaJasper]

Methods to deal with water inside headlights are: 1. Slight water ingress: Owners need not worry too much. After the headlights are turned on for a while, the fog will dissipate through the vent pipe along with the heat, which basically does not damage the headlights or electrical circuits; 2. Severe water ingress: Remove the headlight, open the cover, let it dry, and then check the headlight surface for any damage or potential leakage points. If any abnormalities are found, it is recommended to replace the headlight rear cover seal and vent pipe. To determine whether there is fog or water inside the headlight, turn on the headlight and high beam, observe whether the fog inside the headlight starts to disappear after 30 minutes, and whether it can completely disappear after one hour. If it disappears, it proves to be condensation; otherwise, it indicates water ingress in the headlight, and timely repair should be carried out as soon as possible.
