BHLM frustration

well apparently i didnt seal my driver side headlight properly when i did the bhlm. its been getting foggy. ive been lazy, so i just took the headlight out and applied (a very thick layer) of the silicone adhesive around the seal on the outside of it. im lazy in the sense that i didnt wanna re-bake it, pull it apart, then put it back together. well after doing this twice, it still fogs. guess im gonna have to get some energy and do it the right way...damnit

 

Sucks to hear. Make sure all the condensation is out before you reseal it.

 

yeah, first two times i did this i borrowed a hair dryer and held it to the center hold and just let er dry it out lol

 

the silicone should work, i know it's obvious but double check that all your bulbs are fully inserted and twisted all the way..

good luck

 

didnt think about that. but it seems like the fog is starting in the bottom two corners and all the way up the right side. would that mean thats where the leak is or just so happens to be where the fog starts?

 

the things we do to keep up w/ the TW jones'

 

Yea, mine did it the first time and I left it out in the sun all day and resealed. Now my other one is foggy occasionally. I guess I'll have to reseal that one.

 

Post pics when done. I absolutely LOVE your tacoma. One of the best I have seen.

 

how'd you reseal your first one, just did it the same way you did the first time? i read that some guy put electrical tape around his to seal it up, messaged him and asked if it worked but ill prob just re do it...im so lazy

thanks man. hopefully, if i do it right, the before and after pics will look the same lmao.

 

i wish i knew..

i'm sure you'll get it squared away in no time tho..

 

Put a ton of silicone on and made sure it was completely covered.

 

you put it in the groove and over top of the line where the two parts go together or just in the groove?

 

When I used to do 4th Gen Camaro's I would drill small drain holes on the under side of the housing to allow for some air circulation & moisture drainage. It worked well. Just an idea.....

 

did it fog up any?

 

This is why I haven't done mine. The thought of a putting a ton of silicone on my headlights makes me cringe.

 

a non-bhlm silver streak dont look too bad. but a non-bhlm bsp looks iffy so i gotta do it lol

 

You can't see it from the outside but it doesn't look to good from the inside.

 

x2. i got mine loaded up with silicone but you cant see it at all
