Misty headlights

[blackturbo]

Hey peeps,

Both of the headlights on the Cupra are now misted up and look crappy!

As apposed to paying nearly £200 for replacements its been mentioned by a few people to heat them up to break the seal in the oven then reseal them, does anyone have a "how to" on doing this please? Ie temperatures or how long to leave them in there etc

Thanks

take the unit out remove the bulbs and use a hair dryer if u want quick results. then go around the seal with some black silicon.

or for temp measure leave your full beams on for 5mins before setting off, they get hot as ****

one of mine is misting but i cant be bothered. in the coming months il be using my headlights all the time so the lights will demist it

my passanger light is the same so going to try and re-seal when i get chance. Also they are quite stone chipped so going to wet sand them and give them a polish with the PC.

Mine both did after i fitted some new indicator bulbs, took all bulbs and holders out aprt from main beam and switched main beam on for a while, it slowly went, then refitted bulbs, all is fine now...doesnt steam up.
