Why Do My Car Lights Have Moisture In Them
When you’ve got some awesome-looking custom headlights, LED offroad light bars, or other car lighting, the last thing you want to see when you walk to the front end of your vehicle to check them out is moisture or condensation inside the lens.
Is it normal for condensation to happen inside my car’s headlights?
This moisture doesn’t mean your lights are defective or broken. Occasional condensation is normal. If it never seems to dry up, that’s not right.
How does moisture get in the headlight?
Moisture in headlights is quite simply a matter of science at work. Since most headlights generate heat, they need to be ventilated, which means that they feature small vents that can suck in moisture when the car is turned off. If the outer lens cools more quickly than the air inside the headlight unit, it can cause condensation. This explains why you most often encounter condensation in the morning after your car has been parked overnight.
How does moisture get in off-road LED light bars?
Some offroad LED work light bars manufacturers to add vent holes or slots in the tops, side, bottoms, or at the back of the light housing so that any condensation accumulation can evaporate and to allow for pressure differences within the light housing.
There are a few ways that condensation can form inside your offroad LED light bars
- Your lens is leaking
- A crack in the housing itself or bad headlight seals can also allow moisture to creep in
- There is hight moisture in the air inside the lights, the cooling can draw in the moisture through the vent holes which can cause condensation to form, but usually doesn’t last
- Even an undamaged headlight can develop condensation simply because of the natural heating and cooling of the bulbs. Driving on a humid night, for example, will heat up the air in the headlight housing, the moisture from the air will then condense on the inside when it cools off.
The purpose of these vents is to：
Allow pressure and/or temperature differences between the inside and outside of the housing to more or less equalize so they won’t lead to the bulb and/or the housing itself from developing fissures and malfunctioning.
CONCLUSION:
Condensation inside headlights is not uncommon and it’s not something to worry about. It is a normal occurrence. When there is a variance in temperature between the outside and the inside of the headlight housing such that the external temperature is lower than the interior of the housing, precipitation will usually occur inside. Once the external temperature rises, the precipitation will evaporate and your headlamps will clear up.
Same problem I am facing and but what I do is to blow hot air through hair dryer it disappears but doing daily is not possible and caring it on the way is not possible to. Thanks for sharing the information to us.
