Sealed Alteza's Still "leaking"?

reprobation · Post by **reprobation** » January 14th, 2005, 12:02 pm

I sealed my black alteza's with RTV... basically i put the sealant all over the top of the lenses, where the clear piece meets the black... i ensured that i got it to block out all the clips on the top. I didn't see any gaps on the bottom at all, so there is no sealant on the bottom.. or on the corner area's.. just the top.

After i installed them i went to the car wash.. and sprayed the hell outa of them. no water got on the inside... but what i did notice later that night.. was alittle bit of condensation on the inside of the lenses.... is this normal? it was only on the left corner of the drivers side.. and the right side of the pasengers side... it did not block any of the lights though...

is this normal? if not.. how can i fix it?

thx - Chris

Before you sealed them you where supposed to have let them heat up (in the sun or maybe even an oven?) You need to remove that moisture..so not what happened is that if it mis a good seal, your lights have moisture locked insude..also another thing is that one of your light bulbs may not be on properly or the gaskets are bad. Use a blow dryer in the turn signal dome because thats the one that has access to the rest of the clear lense, dry it out and reseal.

I used clear on mine and it worked nice, havent leaked so far.
