Hi,

 

I've put my headlights back in today with chromed inserts and HID units but I've got a couple of problems.

 

1. They've started getting condensation, any ideas what I can do?

 

2. There is a difference in brightness between the left and right light, any ideas what would cause this. I've swapped over the ballasts and it's still the same.

 

3. Not sure if this is normal but with my ignition on and the light switch on first position, I get my side lamps on but alsy my passanger side dipped beam - is that right???

 

Cheers

A1) You need to replace the anti-moisture packets inside the lamp, get some of the one you get in new shoe boxes and push them through lamp slots.

 

A2) The difference in brightness is common and will even out with a bit of use.

 

A3) You need to disable the UK spec dim dip lights unit fitted in the relay box on the passenger inner wing.

I think you might be getting condensation because those little tablets wrapped in foam that disintergrate on touch, are no longer in the units or your units have not been sealed properly , did you use extra sealent?. I wrapped those tablets in kitchen tissue stapled around the edges and put back in, and I am getting no probs with condensation. As for your other probs mate I do'nt know.

you just need to make sure there sealed properly, i dismantled mine and used some clear sealant with no probs regarding condensation.

Cheers guys. Yes I used extra sealant all the way round. I also put extra silica gel packs in together with the originals so each lamp unit has 2.

 

I was mainly worried about the difference in brightness.
