Can i seal my headlights with Silicone with condensation in them and have the condensation still evaporate ?

wow there are alot of stupid people out there. your headlights arent totally sealed, you still have a bulb that goes in and out right. i have a passat and they started to get yellow from the sun, i sanded them down (fine grit) and a blow torched the sanded area ( propain will smooth them back out, if they are akrylic ) carefull you can worp them easy. take your time. Silicone is fin ( just dont put a lot on or you will have ugly bubbles on the inside of the light that you cant cut off. sweet part is there are different colors too (like if you wanted to match your car). the condensation is no problem to fix, when you glue it make sure you have everything drie, give it a couple of days to drie, when you put the bulb in heat the light housing up with a hairdryer. that will drie up all the moister left from the silicone. could even put the bulb in while its hot so humidity doesnt affect it either.Can i seal my headlights with Silicone with condensation in them and have the condensation still evaporate ?
I don't know what year/make/model your vehicle is, but if you do that, you could screw up your electrical system, ie, the alternator. I wouldn't recommend that.





Ya'll are wrong about thinking I'm wrong. I had that condensation in one of my headlights and it caused multiple alternator failures. My husband is a mechanic when he's not in fn Iraq, and as soon as he changed the headlight, the alternator problems stopped as well.Can i seal my headlights with Silicone with condensation in them and have the condensation still evaporate ?
Think about it for a second. If you completely seal the headlight, how will the condensation escape?
No. Did you fail logic in school?
