Passenger side Headlight Condensation still?

Super pissed still having problems. 2011 OEM Headlights, Replacements from dealer. Last winter (SO Cal not much winter) I removed , dried out ,bought 2 new black rubber boots from Toyota, reinstalled. Seemed on but no real moist weather here till the other day. Still filling with a very wet condensation. I ready to buy new AF OEM style ones but if these dont stay dry Im going to be pissed. Could it be the o rings on the twist connectors on the back of the headlamp , that you put the bulbs in ? If it is the o rings, should I buy new parts that have the o ring on them? They disconnect from the headlamp and the wire harness ??

 

How can I separate them?

 

X2, take them apart, the BHLM (Black headlight mod) thread gives easy step by step instructions on how to get them apart, and it is VERY EASY, if done correctly. Hardest part is getting the actual headlight out of your truck honestly.

 

Yeah you would need to completely bake open the headlight to clean it up and reseal it. I would just recommend purchasing a new headlight set. A good pair of aftermarket headlights are not expensive so you can get a good set somewhere online. There are even some versions that are just like oems, black housings or a complete aftermarket look depending on what you want

 

I'm curious of where you acquired the knowledge of knowing that there is such thing as a "good" pair of aftermarket headlights that aren't expensive, not to be snippy (too late), but I'm pretty sure theres no such thing haha. OEM > leakers.

 

wait, isnt that headlight that is dealing with the condensation OEM? If it is, doesnt that show it happens to OEMs too? lol

 

Not sure if this helps, but i had this happen, and all i did to fix it was loosen the DRL and parking light blubs. I left them laying in the socket, but open to the engine bay. I left it like this for about a week (during a warm weather time frame). Then one afternoon while the sun was shining on the front of the truck for a couple hours, i re-tightened the bulbs.

 

True true. I've just noticed with all the aftermarket headlights that the fitment is shit and they aren't even sealed everywhere, including around the bulb sockets, like the OEM ones are. And the plastics are usually cheaper, thinner. OEM quality is night and day difference with the headlights, if they ever leak, without any sign of cracking, then best bet is to have an OEM, take apart, and do a proper seal job, with a ton of sealant
