HELLO my friends, we have had a lot of great subscribers asking how to remove and prevent moisture from their headlights. We share many methods to waterproof your headlight in this video. Have a great weekend everyone of our great SPC's friends :) **NOW if you have yellowing lights or PEELING CLEAR COAT and Mothers does not do the job, you will need to do this **th-cam.com/video/GKLF8oIWYGg/w-d-xo.html** hope this helps**
yes use these videos th-cam.com/video/-CE5y3D4OMw/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/TUfUdJBtj5s/w-d-xo.html you will find the tools for this project in the "show more" of the video description
Very informative video, I had this issue with my old bmw e46 very easy to fix because the lenses come off so easily (clips ) my ford falcon however is a different matter , first thing is you need to remove front bumper/ apron to remove headlamps , I managed a temp fix by blowing inside with air to clean best I could then left off rubber shroud so it would breath easier, wonder if the vents were blocked ?/ enjoy your videos thanks
I can see there is a lot of years of experience that goes into your techniques. There is absolutely no way I can compete as another TH-cam channel with you doing How Tos and DIYs... I must go a different direction. I absolutely love your content and hope you reach 1 million subs this year in 2018 and absolutely kill it with your amazon products. You deserve it.
One of the best videos yet guys!! I love the fact that you get right to showing how to fix the problem and half the video isn't about a bunch of crap that doesn't pertain to the problem. Sweet Project Cars is definitely my favorite channel!!!!!!
Funny guy! Having all the tools is one thing, thinking to use them outside the box is the true art. You are the master! I just think you're the guy that is never stuck in any situation! Another point for the underdog! This is good stuff.
Another Awesome vid by SPC! Just bought my 16 year old son an older Nissan Altima that has many of these problems...He and I are going over the whole car fixing things as we go!
The fact that you have taken the time to go through Amazon UK looking for the required tools is awesome and really, really appreciated. I don't know of another channel who would do this. I owe you another beer buddy. Did I mention this is my favourite car channel?
Every time I open a computer, this is the first video to be seen and somewhat sketchy if there is no video from Sweet Project Cars. once again thanks for saving my money from buying headlamps and brake lights, I've tried a variety of techniques to avoid it from happening but you've once again shown a fairly easy way, a million thanks. thumbs up
Thank you very much my friend for these great words it makes all our hard work doing these videos well worth it please share our channel everywhere you can have a great day
Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!! My friend your knowledge is endless!!! Years ago I had a 1987 Mustang GT, had moisture in headlights just like this one, it drove me crazy. Young and dumb I drilled a tiny hole in the bottom to let it drain out, worked! But didn't solve my moisture problem. 😂😂😂. Another GREAT video!!! Thanks, GOD BLESS!!!
The cause of this is twofold: hurried manufacturing processes, and the cycles of heating & cooling create a vacuum in the case, that draws in humidity (overnight dew, rain). The "pressure equalizer vents" only make it worse. Traffic atmosphere is filthy- exhaust gasses, washer fluid mist, ice melting chemicals mixed with water, aerosolized by tires, equals another awesome SPC video.
My son has a 1970 Nova, the top of the dash looks like a dried up river bed. I would love it if you made a video on restoring a vinyl dash. Keep up with the videos, because of them people think that I actually know something.
handy we will see what we can do for you on this dash issue your son is having thank you very much for your great comments and we appreciate you being here with us :)
Sweet. Asked for this about a month ago. I haven't done it yet but figured you would make a video about it. Never thought about checking for leaks the way you did. It has been so frigid cold that the moisture in the headlight is frozen. Lol
I was looking at buying some aftermarket headlights for my truck. As a precaution, should I apply the silicone to the outer seam like in 2:52 and let it dry prior to installing them?
Yes, use this amzn.to/2DuPmO1 and only this. It is a great precaution to do before installing them. Thanks for the great question. Have a great evening. mad Mike the hammer SPC
we try to share with everyone even in other languages when we can thank you very much we truly appreciate that and are very glad you are here with us :)
OutF#*kin'standing instructions for this head save and restoration! Sweet Project Cars Crew is the Sweetest Deal in DIY car care! If you are not a subscriber yet, what the heck are you waiting for?
thank you partner!!!! you are an angel I have so much moisture, in my plastic headlights and boom u gave me the answer!!! I will perform this asap thank you partner for sharing!!!!!
I will definitely try the Mothers, already have it. But I only used it for wheels lol. I been sanding these really bad ones starting at 180 and going up to 2000, then polishing compound, and finally waxing. That is my full proof way and has always turned out perfect. But labor intensive. I don't see how just the Mothers can fix these I get with the clear coat peeling etc but I am going to give it a try and hopefully save some time. In the detailing world that's what it's all about, time. Thanks for sharing
SPC hi, i was doing the same exact Project today. With the same idea and same technique. And had the same result,wow. We are on the same page. Keep up the good work and God Bless.😎
Extra credit for the Apple Polishers like me- If the chromed plastic reflector is hazed because of polluted water- Mothers and a soft cloth will clean most of that off too. If it's really FUBAR you can always clean it with isopropyl, then shoot it with light coats of your choice of "chrome" spray paint, and that can be buff polished like any other paint when dry & hardened properly.
Thanks for doing this video. I have this problem with the drivers blinker light and now I know what to do. Best car videos on youtube if you ask me. Thank you !
It's a good video overall, plenty of useful tips. I'm curious if dumping rubbing alcohol in a headlamp assembly would remove the chrome paint for the reflector dish? Also, if the chrome paint has come off, what would you suggest to restore it? I ask that last part because I had a brand new headlamp assembly in a bench in my garage. I peeled off the paper that protects the bulb holes, but I didn't add bulbs. The ambient moisture in the garage caused fog in it, and when I dumped it out, most of the chrome paint fell right out too.
the alcohol does not hurt the light whatsoever you put it in and slosh it around and dump it out... thank you very much, we truly appreciate that and are very glad you are here with us :) as far as the chrome paint you can clean it with rubbing alcohol and then use a plastic chrome paint and then clear it with a good clear coat.
Just want to say thanks for all the great videos. Congratulations on reaching 100k, hopefully you’ll be hitting 250k in no time. In the north of England we don’t get too much sun, but it’s always raining! Having a old car and all, there’s rust patches. So, I wanna leave a suggestion of doing a video on how to remove rust on body panels, filling sanding and painting. I know there’s lots of videos on TH-cam of other channels doing it but tbh I trust the videos here the most. Evening is honest and cost effective! So yeah, I would really appreciate it if you could, Thank you.
I "wish" my headlights came off that easy. I really don't want to have to "have to" remove all of the front fascia just to get them off. Are you sure I couldn't bring the town & country up to you (Mike) and have you do the job? I need to do a road trip and get away from the house for a few days! Our next BIG road trip will be back to Florida when we pick up our custom-built van RV -- in August of this year!
Snuck the laquer thinner in lol. PROJECT IDEAS what sweet tips do you have from keeping doors freezing shut in winter..post snow, car wash or -30*MN stuff. Other than wiping door jams lol, they freeze as ya know well before those jams are throughly wiped! Great video as always, shared with my groups as this is always an issue even w brand new
My taillight rusted out around the reverse bulbs housing and all that nasty rust residue is caked in there. Any suggestions for cleaning that out? maybe vinegar?
Oh Darlin please! Have you come across a car that's side view mirror has gotten water in it? My mechanic didn't know how to fix it and made it worse trying to fix it. The water was trapped in the mirror (glass), not the housing. As always wonderful video!
Once it’s in the mirror glass there’s no fixing that that we have found it will need to be replaced what happens is the seal Is busted on the glass and water seeps in. Thank you very much for the great question have an awesome weekend
great tips, just wished you showed the finished project, be nice to see the results after all the work to know what kind of results we can expect but thank you for taking the time to show us how you clean them up. I am going to give this a try on my silverado which is filling halfway up with water lol Thanks.
butch not really a way to fix that, if it is not leaking then i would leave it until you are ready to buy new ... thank you very much we truly appreciate that and you being here with us :)
SPC...I have turned down a few more headlight jobs because the lens seem to have like a hard crust on them...do u have any tips or just keep staying away? Also how to get rid of a burn mark on lens?
tahiR, if they steam up, you probably have a pinhole leak somewhere. That is, unless they 'steamed up' straight from the dealership when it was spanking brand new.
tahiR there is moisture getting on somehow, you need to seal them up like in the video without taking the lens off and see if that helps thank you very much we truly appreciate that and are very glad you are here with us :)
I can see where this would work for just about anybody. However, I have a 2011 Chrysler Towne & Country with just 1 headlight ass'y which is doing this - every winter - drivers side. In order to remove the headlight ass'y the front bumper must come off. So I will just live with it - for now. If I could remove the headlight ass'y easily, I'd do this in a heartbeat! So if you know of a quick way to remove this headlight ass'y., I'd sure like to know. Love your channel and all fhe tips you provide to all of us. Keep up the good work.
Ray, unfortunately, yours is like the newer Cadillacs you have to take the bumper cover off partial to get the light out thank you very much we truly appreciate that and you being here with us :)
john we try not to do the really small details and insult anyone's intelligence as it is a fine line with doing these videos...but yes you re-assemble the light back to what it originally was before the work commenced thank you very much we truly appreciate that and you being here with us :)
Sweet Project Cars bro I did a lil test ok let me explain I put water droplets on the outside, and right under the water droplet inside my headlight moisture starts occurring. Note I’m not even wetting the whole headlight just a couple of drops that doesn’t slide off. So it’s not even close to the factory headlight glue so what is happpening? It’s not happening to the other side
Great info. So many neat little tricks! I always enjoy your new videos. What if the leak is where the bulb base twists in? How would you seal that ? Thanks, Tom
hojo we have done so many headlight videos we did not want to bore people with more of the same sorry my friend :) thank you very much we truly appreciate that and you being here with us :)
Hey, does anyone know if you can use bitumen sealant to reseal headlights? I'm unable to buy Morimoto butyl rubber strips or any kinda butyl based product since local shops don't have them, and I'm trying to do this on a tight budget.
You may want to add a comment somewhere that you should NEVER attempt to wipe or clean the chrome reflector. That chrome coating is VERY finicky and wipes right off. I messed up 2 fog light lenses so that's my experience
LOL, thanks for watching and sharing, we appreciate the sense of humor this morning, made us all laugh! Have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
no we have not very hard to do and make it look new ..best is to replace them thank you very much we truly appreciate that and are very glad you are here with us :)
I've drilled a headlights on 2 cars.. work great and stopped blowing bulbs when I took a turn. Both were clunkers but if a nicer car has the same problem I might put it the extra effort with this method
we figured it was self explanatory and if you do it you will see the awesome results we thank you very much for the kind comments and appreciate you being here with us :)
no problem we just try to leave a bit to the imagination of our great viewers :) thank you for the awesome question and comment it helps the entire channel :)
A super duper video, once again!! Congratulations 🎉! I have moist in one headlight and also in two back lights (20 yr old car).Just wondering whether disengaging the headlight will be problematic (it’s a fiat barchetta, scared to ruin something!) THANK YOU, you’re brilliant
You can pull the bulbs out spray in some rubbing alcohol let them air dry and put the bulbs back in but I’m sure it will continue to do that until you split the headlights a part
Hi there, the problematic bit for me is getting the headlight out of its socket, not the cleaning up process which I would definitely prefer to carry out using the full method. Thank you, you're such a breath of fresh air!! @@SweetProjectCars
@@SweetProjectCars Still have my old request: wish you could show us what you would do to mend plastic bumper cracks, the usual nice present from fellow parking experts! Would you prefer using the mesh and bi component glue after tunneling the crack from the inside, soldering the plastic with mesh or the drilled hole system? I'm for a simple method because bumpers are always cracked again when you live in a big city. And I certainly wouldn't spend the money for a new bumper. Please, please, please...!
Of course!! would be very pleased to send you pics of my crazy paved bumper! Please remember one day to illustrate your "plastic bumper crack mending" tricks, I would be elated,THANKS @@SweetProjectCars

You did this like a BOSS! Love the way you used the mop/buffing machine and that's the best way to do it guys n girls.Great effort Sweet Project Cars
Tardeli thank you very much for your great comments and we appreciate you being here with us :)
The cause of this is twofold: hurried manufacturing processes, and the cycles of heating & cooling create a vacuum in the case, that draws in humidity (overnight dew, rain). The "pressure equalizer vents" only make it worse. Traffic atmosphere is filthy- exhaust gasses, washer fluid mist, ice melting chemicals mixed with water, aerosolized by tires, equals another awesome SPC video.
thanks for the great comment hubba
You're the man.. My cars are looking tight, and on a budget.
Thank you!

Yes, use this amzn.to/2DuPmO1 and only this. It is a great precaution to do before installing them. Thanks for the great question. Have a great evening. mad Mike the hammer SPC

But will they not just go back to foggy if you don't seal the plastic inside and out? Would a good wax seal them or should I use a spray clear coat?
dave houston this is what you want to do th-cam.com/video/hD2CKp9mco0/w-d-xo.html
Mine have more water than a swamp it seems, but now I can fix it, thanks!

Is it possible to fix a star crack in the plastic from a stone , there isn't any holes just cracks. Love the video's , keep it up. Thanks.

SPC...I have turned down a few more headlight jobs because the lens seem to have like a hard crust on them...do u have any tips or just keep staying away? Also how to get rid of a burn mark on lens?
Harry Coleman harry turn them down for now until you see our video on how to deal with it...thank you my friend :)
Ive got a 2015 audi s3 and my both my headlights steam up but they not broken leak or anything caps behind tight what can i do
tahiR make sure the vents are not clogged
tahiR, if they steam up, you probably have a pinhole leak somewhere. That is, unless they 'steamed up' straight from the dealership when it was spanking brand new.
tahiR there is moisture getting on somehow, you need to seal them up like in the video without taking the lens off and see if that helps thank you very much we truly appreciate that and are very glad you are here with us :)

Sweet Project Cars for pouring alcohol in the headlight, and blowing with an air hose, what else can you use instead? Compressed air can?
Great vid my friend, but how would you do this with plastic covers please
cornish these were plastic covers we did? or am I missing something let me know my friend :)
Sweet Project Cars sorry my mistake I thought they were glass, its my age mate lol
cornish no problem I'm with you on the age thing starting to feel it more everyday UGH !!
Do you know if it’s the same process on glass fog lights with moisture? Thanks for another great video.
Stranger, it is exactly the same process my friend ..thanks for asking, great question :)
Sweet Project Cars Thank you for another speedy reply. Keep up the great work.
you are very welcome my friend :)
Liked the video, but...
You didn't mention the metal clips that held the headlight clam together... Do those need to go back on or meh..?
john we try not to do the really small details and insult anyone's intelligence as it is a fine line with doing these videos...but yes you re-assemble the light back to what it originally was before the work commenced thank you very much we truly appreciate that and you being here with us :)
I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own three eyes!
Gary we thank you very much for the kind comments and appreciate you being here with us :)
Any tips for bad o2 sensors? Damn expensive to replace.
try this we have had great success with it ... on sensors amzn.to/2E1Hnon
Should I use a glue that dry hard or soft?
beezy yo this is what you will want amzn.to/2sl5vNW and remember our tools are always in the SHOW MORE of the video description to help everyone out.
Sweet Project Cars bro I did a lil test ok let me explain I put water droplets on the outside, and right under the water droplet inside my headlight moisture starts occurring. Note I’m not even wetting the whole headlight just a couple of drops that doesn’t slide off. So it’s not even close to the factory headlight glue so what is happpening? It’s not happening to the other side
beezy yo sounds like you have a bad light and will need to split it and reglue or maybe just replace it...hope this helps my friend :)
Sweet Project Cars I think it’s just a shit headlight yeah thanks man your vid was helpful have a bless full day sir
waa tao your are very welcome
Great info. So many neat little tricks! I always enjoy your new videos. What if the leak is where the bulb base twists in? How would you seal that ? Thanks, Tom
Tom thank you if it is in the bulb base use this amzn.to/2E01HpY it works everytime
Awesome tip, although I feel left somewhat incomplete by not seeing how that headlight turned out after you completely polished and reinstalled it :-)
hojo we have done so many headlight videos we did not want to bore people with more of the same sorry my friend :) thank you very much we truly appreciate that and you being here with us :)
Lol you showed the new headlight lens i was like DAYUM you got mega skills......so all lenses Separate like that?
Anna thank you and ost all lenses come apart....if not you just re-seal them from the outside
Sweet Project Cars awesome thanks
anna you are very welcome :)
Hey, does anyone know if you can use bitumen sealant to reseal headlights? I'm unable to buy Morimoto butyl rubber strips or any kinda butyl based product since local shops don't have them, and I'm trying to do this on a tight budget.
Your a genius

Axel thank you very much we truly appreciate that and you being here with us :)
You may want to add a comment somewhere that you should NEVER attempt to wipe or clean the chrome reflector. That chrome coating is VERY finicky and wipes right off. I messed up 2 fog light lenses so that's my experience
thank you very much for your great comments it is helpful for the entire channel :)
I’ve been having this problem for years
Melon now you can sure it :) thanks so much for the great comment
Solved!
great reply Halsey
I get exited whwn.i hear the motor wjen.clicking on a video, im VISUALLY impeared, hearing the moyor i know im 8n.the right video
Why would we need this to stop happening? Its suppose to be full of blinker fluid no?.
LOL, thanks for watching and sharing, we appreciate the sense of humor this morning, made us all laugh! Have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
@@SweetProjectCars you made me laugh. I thought people were gonna take that seriously. Hahaha let me just leave a sub here I appreciate the response.
Great video. I would use a sandwich bag full of nuts and volts for weights or same or gravel to actually weigh down the light to the lens. 😄💙👍
Diana very good idea my friend thanks for sharing this awesome tip :)
Sweet Project Cars Glad to, that is how I made my own pie weights with rice and beans...lol ..$24.00 for 2 back in the day. 😄
Good tip!
GENIUS!!!

Awesome Sauce
Richard thank you very much for your great comments and we appreciate you being here with us :)
Thank You!!!!!!!
John Archer you are very welcome :)
just drill a 1/6" hole in the lowest corner and it will stay dry
William Volkmann - yes that works too but 16 inches might be a bit large lol
the idea is to keep water out my friend :)
It dose also the heat dries any that is already there
I've drilled a headlights on 2 cars.. work great and stopped blowing bulbs when I took a turn. Both were clunkers but if a nicer car has the same problem I might put it the extra effort with this method
No finished product shot?
we figured it was self explanatory and if you do it you will see the awesome results we thank you very much for the kind comments and appreciate you being here with us :)
Sweet Project Cars It is self explanatory. But I'm a nerd! Lol.
no problem we just try to leave a bit to the imagination of our great viewers :) thank you for the awesome question and comment it helps the entire channel :)
The MacGyver of car problems.
Mike thank you very much we truly appreciate that and you being here with us :)
A super duper video, once again!! Congratulations 🎉! I have moist in one headlight and also in two back lights (20 yr old car).Just wondering whether disengaging the headlight will be problematic (it’s a fiat barchetta, scared to ruin something!)
THANK YOU, you’re brilliant
You can pull the bulbs out spray in some rubbing alcohol let them air dry and put the bulbs back in but I’m sure it will continue to do that until you split the headlights a part
Hi there, the problematic bit for me is getting the headlight out of its socket, not the cleaning up process which I would definitely prefer to carry out using the full method. Thank you, you're such a breath of fresh air!! @@SweetProjectCars
@@SweetProjectCars Still have my old request: wish you could show us what you would do to mend plastic bumper cracks, the usual nice present from fellow parking experts! Would you prefer using the mesh and bi component glue after tunneling the crack from the inside, soldering the plastic with mesh or the drilled hole system? I'm for a simple method because bumpers are always cracked again when you live in a big city. And I certainly wouldn't spend the money for a new bumper.
Please, please, please...!
Kate Beedot can you send us some good pics and we will see what we can do for you :) thanks mike send to SWEETPROJECTCARS@GMAIL.COM
Of course!! would be very pleased to send you pics of my crazy paved bumper! Please remember one day to illustrate your "plastic bumper crack mending" tricks, I would be elated,THANKS @@SweetProjectCars
They are not bulbs they are lamps ! Bulbs go in the garden , lol
Alan you are correct thank you very much we truly appreciate that and you being here with us :)
WOULD THE 4 NEGATIVE REVIEWERS OF THIS VIDEO PLEASE STEP FORWARD AND SAY 3 TIMES "I AM A COMPLETE DUMBASS"
PARDS2 YOU ROCK !!!! :) THANKS MY FRIEND !!
I want to know which car manufacturer did such a lousy job of simply gluing two pieces of plastic together.
there are many that don't do a good job on building cars so my list would be endless :)
Nissan to name one...dealer said for ME to drill a couple holes. That's not happening
That's awesome!! Thanks for sharing!!
Conservative American thank you so much for sharing we truly appreciate that and being here with us have a great night again I love your user name
