moisture in parking lamps

**rhinojohn** · 11-18-2005, 08:11 AM

ive had water build up in both my parking /directional lamps leading to bulb failure and corrosion. replaced unit with brand new one and today noticed some condensation inside new lamp housing. has anyone had this problem?

Thanks

Yep, most will drill holes in the bottom of the housing.

i used silicone to seal mine all around the housing... And if by some strange reason i needed to get in there all i would need is a razor to cut it off!!

i totally needed this post like 2 days ago...ef.

oh well, i hope what i did lasts; i found a hole developed on teh top of the light housing and i put liquid weather strip adhesive on it....i also replaced both of the light harnesses. hope it works. where should i drill holes if need be? in the housing or in the harness?

I had to replace both lamps awhile back. They were just faded and cracked in the lenses, so water got in there every time it rained.

I haven't done anything like it yet, but I'd say you'd want your hole at the lowest point in the lamp itself. Sizewise, I couldn't imagine needing a hole bigger'n 1/8".
