De-condensating headlights
« on: 08 February 2026, 12:01 »
I get a small amount of condensation in my headlights when the weather is cold. Thought id try this to see if I can stop it. I bought some sachets of silica desiccant and.affixed some the inside of the access cover with double sided tape. Will it work? No idea, but I will report back.

Genius!!!!
I got as far as buying the silica gel, but didn't put them in as I was worried they would disappear inside, I never though of putting them inside the cover!!!

Early signs are that this is working. It seemed to take maybe a week or so for the gel absorb any moisture inside the lamp, but not noticed any for quite a few days now.

I'm disappointed to report that I'm still getting small amounts of condensation in the lower indicator area of the headlights in cold temperatures. I might try increasing the number of silica bags, see if that helps at all.
