I have one giving me a tough time. I have had the bubble bath and the only bubbles formed at the sides of both access covers. I flipped the rubber seals and it was really tight with very minimal bubble at the time of test. Vents are all OK. Yet soon as temperature drops somewhere below 10. I get condensation. I am getting fed up but I really want to solve this. Headlight is still Well sealed all round. No broken parts as much as I can see. Any suggestions please.
Is it reasonable to assume though that units (like mine) that have no reason to have case damage have water ingress due to faulty seals (either lens or access panels)? Should the ventilation ports be able to cope with reasonable ingress? Thanks for the videos!
Direct water ingress means that you have a damage at your headlight (either at the lens or the body) or missing covers. If the presence of the water inside the headlight is due to condensation, then again there is 100% damage. The amount of the condensation is directly related to the scope of the damage/crack either on the lens or the body. The vents can cope with very limited cracks/damage. If you have to be 100% sure, you should definitely make the "bubble bath" and only then you will see the cause of the condensation. And most probably you will see some cracks. For the last 15 years, I have only 1 case, where the lens sealing was the issue (even this one turned out to be a opened-resealed headlight).

what do you use for sealing
