Need definitive answer: does clear corner mod cause condensation in headlight?(m)
I did a search to no avail. I want to do the clear corner modification this week, but I am concerned about the possibility of condensation building up inside the headlight. I understand that any holes I drill must be plugged up properly with silicon, however I have heard people mention that even doing this has not prevented condensation buildup... what to do? (BESIDES BUY E-CODES! I can't afford 'em, please don't mention it)

yea, even if u get condensation, just reseal them or dry them out, even a hair dryer should
work i guess, just blowing through the panal in he back where u get to the bulb should get rid of it on a non humid day.

Ever see fogged lights in the cars on the dealer's lot? No, but you can do cc w/o fog by sealing it
well. My opinion and experience tells me to use a hard plastic glue, not silicone. (or silicon either) My B5 is converted to projectors via my own hand-made harness which I drilled through the back of the housing. Never have I seen any fog.
