Help!

I have a slight crack on the top of the left-hand-side headlight and yesterday i decided to wash my car and accidentally sprayed a few drops of water inside my headlight. I ignored it completely and last night however it decide to fog up! Does anyone know how to totally remove the moisture inside the headlight without wiping it as the crack is too small to put a cloth inside? Many help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Unscrew/pull off the caps (the rear of the lights) for the lights you don’t have to take the bulb out (unless their is a seal or something) take it for a drive the air and heat will get it all out for ya. Or next time you’re going for a drive take the rear covers off the headlight assembly. Cheers Rob

THanks for the help guys. I have tried hairdryer and it evaporated but when night comes it came back again :)

I think the whole frontlight assemble has 2 glasses. One is the front glass, and the other is where you insert the lightblub. The moisture is where the front glass is not in the lightblub assemble section.

my rear lights just started to fog up lately..

so, without taking my car into pieces to dry it off

i don't see no cracks or anything.. but there must be since its fogged

well.. one of my side skirt lights has been fogged up for 2 months... and it hasn't gone away yet :)

*points to the above*

LMFAO

Sorry it had to be done bro.

Sorry about my dad and the light man, I went to Awun the other day and they are open so swing around on one of your many days off.

Hey siksII i was wondering at what temperature exactly did you put the oven on and for how long did you leave the light in the oven for.  might sounds silly but did you preheat the oven(just that i don't want light to melt altogether =)

Hey, i myself did not do it, a friend did on his 300zx. the front and rear are bonded in the same way, with a sort of glue.

he preheated the oven to medium heat, or around 180 degrees, but i am not sure how long he left it. probably just took it out after a few mins to see if it was ready :( sort of like baking a cake lol

He did it because he was planning on spray painting a part of the headlight silver, which he did, it looks excellent now :)

when you lights possilbly fog up for different reasons...pull/take the bulb out :) so you let some air in and out works better on a warmer day to get all the mist fog out NP then after its gone inspect and see if thier are any seals that a damaged etc to make sure it dosent happen again.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
