BHLM, now my Lenz is Foggy?

Alright so i finaly got around to doing BHLM mod to my lights and i got them apart and painted no problem . When i went to put them back together i wiped the linz down inside and out. My problem is now that there back in the truck the lenz looks foggy and i dont know why, any ideas of there suden foggyness?

oh and p.s. it wasnt the heat from baking them i already ruled that out.

 

You didn't seal them well enought and now water vapor can get in side and condence on the inside of the light.....

 

pics?

 

Need to reseal or you didn't let the lights completely dry before putting them back together.

 

Its not water vapor it almost like the lenz is oxidized

 

did you cure the paint?

 

I second that. Or did you happen to use any super glue when reassembling for some strange reason? That can cause fogging issues too.

 

No no strange glue and the lights had time to dry I dont know what happend and its driving me crazy.

 

Did you try baking it again and seeing if the fog went away? That could help you figure out if it is now in the plastic or just some moisture.

Or maybe it just looks foggy with the marine layer out your way...

 

How MUCH time for the paint to dry? It takes a good 10+ hours for most spraypaints to fully cure. I let my bezels cure for about 16 hours before re-assembling.

 

x3, I threw mine back in the oven after the paint dried. I followed someones DIY a while back and mine has not fogged at all.

 

That might make sense, maybe the black back makes the lense faults pop out more. i think that the headlight restoration kit might help out though, im hoping its just the outside, that can easly be fixed.

 

Thanks ill give it a try. Ill post pics later.....
