Headlamp Housing - Condensation

[haider320]

It's not that I didn't do research I looked throughout the forums to see if anyone had posted about it and I could not find anything. I was just wondering if anyone was experiencing the same issue...

Thank you. whenever I would search for it in the search box for all forums it said that there wasn't any topics.

Using Google and searching is another tip. It is way better

Confirmed with my Servicing dealer they will replace it as a warranty item.

Yeah I've never seen the Sierra's headlights that bad. My silverado high beam passenger side fogged up but I believe it was a bad seal from the aftermarket HID'S

Yea, something's cracked or a bad seal. That's probably the worst I've seen as well

How'd you fix yours?? Ive had my HIDs (ddm) in for almost 3 months now and no issues. Woke up yesterday morning and same fog as you, even extended up to the low beam corner marker. I have run my headlights for about a half hour and it hasnt gone completely away. Im not super concerned about it as ive had it happen and go away in other cars before, but id be lying if i said it didn't worry me a little

Figured id start a silverado specific thread. Seems like there is a known issue for the sierras but guys with issues on their silverados is a little less frequent.

Pulled the headlamps, sat inside for about 15 min. each headlamp and then left them inside for 24 hours to evaporate all the condensation. I then went back to the stock halogens on everything (ddm quality sucked ass). No issues yet. I do have slight condensation in my fogs though

I had 3 ballasts go bad in 3 weeks and a high beam bulb tab break. They use to have better quality. I've had their kits in my 02 for 2 years with not a single issue. These new kits suck ass. Pardon my language. In the process of getting authorization to return them

hmm, for the record i only have low beams and yet the condensation is in my high beams. This is why im a little les concerned that its my HIDs causing it

[LongrangeLauber]

Maybe it was the environment they were built in that caused the issue. If at all possible, pull the headlights completely and let them air dry inside your house for 24 hours. I also hit them with a blow dryer so the hot air could help evaporate it. So far no issues but if that doesn't solve your issue then I would recommend taking it back to the dealer and let them know what you did and if they are cool they will just replace them no questions asked. The dealer I go to (but didn't buy my truck from them) asked me a few questions and then just said bring it in if it happens again and did we'll replace them. It was about a 30 sec. conversation lol
