headlight condensation
Whats up s2ki? I have condensation in the driver's side headlight that I can't seem to fix. Tried baking it and re-doing the seal the other day to no avail.
What do you guys think?
Cheers!

there might still be tiny water spots that are around the headlights where you can't really see. make sure it is sealed properly, sometimes there still might be little air pockets. hope you can get it fixed

i was thinking about replacing the headlight housing while keeping the ballast etc.
seems like it would cost about $200 which i would much rather contribute to my otherworldly interests
any thoughts on the idea?

did you recently purchase ur s2k from a s2ki member? the one with the asm front bumper + mugen wing?
if so theres a crack on the headlight housing. i did some work on the car a while back.
if its not that car, you probably have a crack in the rear housing.

My right one looks like that right now after using the pressure washer yesterday.
I just need to get off my lazy ass and buy the parts for the new light mod.
(disclaimer: ho didn't seal my headlights the first time--I'm going to him 'cause I know he'll do it better than anyone else
)

I've been doing headlights for a long time and there's DEFINITELY A LEAK somewhere - u should do an air pressure test
We have a set of ap1 headlights being sealed now and I suggest using a high temp silicone based glue. I've never had any issues with headlights if sealed properly.
