What to Do When Water Gets into the Rear Tail Light of a Car?
1 Answers
Water ingress in car headlights can be categorized into two types: minor water ingress and severe water ingress. Below are the handling methods for each type: 1. Treatment for Minor Water Ingress. For relatively minor cases of water inside the light, there is no need to worry too much. After the headlights are turned on for a while, the moisture will evaporate with the heat and be expelled through the vent tube. This generally does not damage the headlight or the electrical circuit. 2. Treatment for Severe Water Ingress. When there is a significant amount of water inside the headlight. Remove it, open the lamp cover, and let it dry. Then, inspect 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 the vent tube.
