Dee K Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I have bad condensation on drivers side headlight, someone told me you can dry them out and put a seal on the casing, but not sure this is true as if permanently sealed, then won't be able to remove it if needed. Toyota quoting £200 to replace whole unit which seems a bit of a waste as lights working fine and nothing wrong with rest of the part. Model is 2014 Yaris Icon, any advice will greatly received please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathtub tom Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Remove the bulb and holder and point a hair dryer into the hole on the lowest setting until the condensation clears. Then try to find out why you've condensation in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyHSD Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Lights usually has vents , small pipes on the back side that point towards ground and has a rubber boot cover at the end, these may need to be checked and cleaned eventually and nothing else really, condensation on halogen bulbs lights is normal and unless they are full of water just leave them alone and they will dry out themselves. Do not use any silicone or anything else to make them fully water tide and great can cause actually more condensation. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xav Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I have this same problem on a recently bought mk1 tsport, both light but on further inspection both rubber seals for headlight bulbs are missing so hoping can dry out as you say above and replace rubber seals behind and all will be ok fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
