Re: hwo can i re-seal my headlights?

Would the same hold true for the parking/turn signals on my 1991 RS? They've got a fair bit of moisture in the light, and I've been toying with various ways to remove the condensation, and reseal the light. I imagine theres a way to get into the parking lights, though, as they're not sealed-beam.

those are glued together and cant be takin apart easily i tried to take them apart before cuz i had two from a junkyard one with a cracked housing and one with a cracked lense and neither would come apart ive heard of people using heat guns and ovens to pry apart headlights in s10 pickups to remove the amber lense corner maybe it would work in this case? anyone tried something like this?

remove bulb from rear of housing , remove housing from car . on the lower/bottom side of the housing you will see a small drainage port . this will stop up with dirt etc. . open or enlarge drainage port , wash inside ( i just sloshed soapy water around inside , rinsed well ) while housing is removed a good time to polish face of housing while inside dries . makes them look years newer . there is a service bulletion on this problem on homepage . good luck .
