A bit of water in my headlight housing
I have the Hella H4 conversion on my truck, complete with the little rubber boot to keep water and other crap out, but last week I went through a mud puddle a bit too fast and got a bit of moisture inside. I figured if I drove around with the lights always on, the heat from the 55w bulb should be enough to boil the little droplets off, but they seem to wanna stick around. Any tips?

yaaay a reply!
The thing with the hella h4 housing is that it's got the little umbrella thing inside that directs the light from the bulb to the reflector, so there isn't a clear shot from the hole to the lense. No matter though, i've been driving with my lights on all the time now and 3 days laters it's slowly starting to go away. Should be fine...

Same thing happened to my watch last summer. I swear it took like a month for all the condensation to go away! But anyways, you're probably better off just letting it evaporate. Maybe a little silicone for the future.
