Re: Altezza Moisture
Too be honest I must admit, I now have a pair of Altezza lights. I didn't pay for them however, I got them as part of a deal to create a website for Oscar which will be finished very soon. I am not sure how well they will look on my car but in the spring I will put them on. If I don't like them then I can always sell them. I don't think I would have ever bought them on my own but since I got them for free I might as well try them out on my car for a while at least.

Re: Altezza Moisture
So, I'm reviving this because it was never really finished, it just turned into an arguement...
Mine have some serious condensation too, and I'm a little ticked. They've also been sealed with black sillicone. Not sure if 2fazed did this, or its stock... he said he didn't, though.
at 210F in my oven, its decently coming apart. although I don't want to break them, so I'm going slow... the clips are rediculous, all coverd in sillicone... its really annoying.
I got it open enough to blow into there, so thats what I did. Heated it up and most evapouated, but you take it out again and it will condence, not as bad, but it does... I think the best option is drilling holes so the inside and outside can match temperatures/humidities... Unless you can trap zero humidity in there, which would be achieved with sub freeizing air... I'm debating tossing it in the freezer for awhile, but that will merely freeze the water already in it... There's no solution! Not my in arsenal, at least...

Re: Altezza Moisture
The way moisture gets inside is through the bulb holes - the bulb holders have rubber seals that are supposed to seal out the air - but as with any old part they degrade and let moisture in. They also deal with extreme temperature variations (bulb on - high temperature, off - cooling) within a matter of minutes or sometimes seconds - if you are riding the brakes.....
The best solution is to have plenty of ventilation holes just like the stock headlights/tail lights.
If you want to remove moisture completely then you will have to fill it with nitrogen and and seal "everything" - including the bulb holes... and you will have to put some silicone based moisture absorbing pellets in there too....

Re: Altezza Moisture
i had the same trouble ... i went and get some silicon to put, and then i found out that i couldnt put it ...
So i went the other way around
If i cant help that moisture gets in, i could make a way for it to get out.
I made 3 holes on the Altezzas, and it works fine

Re: Altezza Moisture
Yup, that's what I have to say. Pop a few holes in some out of the way places and you won't have another problem, unless you're a fiend with a pressure washer. Then you'll still get water in 'em... but it'll go away.
