Water In Headlight

[krzysiu]

I know there have been 100 threads about water in the rear lights of an r33, but now my whale is getting water in the headlights (the right one) Its all fogged up. How the hell would water get in? Has anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it. Thanks.

btw, its a series 2 if it matters.

my front indicators have water in them also

keeps blowing bulbs too

K i think i found the problem. The idiot that had my car before decided to make the front bar sticked on with this black shit to the headlights. Since my car is low everytime i hit it on a driway or something it is cracking the headlight from the bottom. So i actually got a crack from the bottom. New headlight needed... shit.

I have the same problem with my left rear tail light. I also have a Series 2 R33 and I've been told to take it to a panel beater to reseal the light surround as the black sealant used may wear away after some time.

I haven't had time to do this as yet but any further info would be much appreciated.

Thanks

yeah i had it in the rear left rear light too. Just took out the light. Hair dryer and put it back in a silicon the shit out of it.

I cant do that for the front lights though :|

i used to get water in my rear indicators all the time...so i used a really small drillpiece and drilled two holes on the bottom left and right of each indicator so the water drains out..works a treat and you cant notice the holes unless you look real close

[krzysiu]

we are talking about headlights here people

"how do u get the yellow outa the headlights ?"

I take it you have a series 1 Use toothpaste

[justin911]

[justin911]

[krzysiu]

[justin911]

Cut a polish works really well too just rub the shit outa it, it got all the yellow out of my s1 and lats about 6 months

Sucks how it comes straight back though.

I have one new light and one yellow one so it's kinda lame...
