Head Lights Fogging Up

[shockz]

OK. So I was in a crash a couple weeks ago and had to get new headlights.

So today I bring the car home and I get out and I see that the new head lights are now fogged up. My old ones never fogged up, and I just wanted to know what causes it and how I can fix it.

Thanks

The caulking could be dried out, but I'm not positive, I had this problem after I cleared my corners, so I just caulked the crap out of it and its been fine, just looks like crap when I pop the hood so maybe someome else will tell u a more intelligent way.

There's moisture in them, the caulking isnt fully sealed

Should I take it back to the body shop, or is it something that I could fix?

No I would suggest you do it yourself. You never know what hidden charges a bodyshop will have.

Use caulk or a head gasket sealer

You can find instructions that'll assist you in doing it yourself here: http://invision.aleromod.com/index.php?showtopic=17

While you at it, you might as well clear your corners :D

Thanks for the guide.

I think about clearing them, I kind of like the yellowness.

Also check the foam gasket on the bulb sockets as that is what was wrong with mine. Also make sure the shop put the bulb sockets in straight & not cocked.

Will do.

make sure the 2 rubber "boots" that cover the hole where the headlight go in are there too.

yeah, might as well clear the corners, or if it is old caulk then just remove the old caulk and redo the whole thing
