Problems with headlights may occur in any form of transport. Initially, the condensate in the headlights do not pay special attention, considering this phenomenon is not particularly significant, therefore - the elimination of the defect is postponed "for later." But we should not forget that the problem may be aggravated, the moment will come when there is a not enough light road ahead of the car may cause the emergency, the presence of moisture can generally bring lighting devices or cause short circuit.

Plant fading is the norm or not

Naturally, it is impossible to consider fading the norm, the cause of this is the reason for the first to be a significant reduction in the quality of lighting, it will become as possible from contaminated headlamp. Ie, it will be quite difficult to notice on the road, or even a pedestrian.

In any case, it is not recommended to pay attention to the problem with swollen headlights - sooner or later this situation will entail more complex problems.

The headlight sweats from the inside, which affects the fogging, in which the danger

Famming the headlights can cause water accumulation inside the headlight. Since metal parts are afraid of moisture impact, symptoms of corrosion will begin to appear in the future, in the future, metal parts of the headlight will begin to collapse.

Many manufacturers today seek to replace metal headlights on plastic, nevertheless, the metal of the lamps still remain metal glass.

The neighborhood of water with a heated lamp ultimately can end that the lamp simply burst.

The lamp can overcome and when it is hit by water, which is a good current conductor. Fuses can also burn, if at this moment the car will be on the way - there is a threat that the further path will have to be overcome in the dark.

Continuous moisturizes of contacts will cause constant lamp burning.

Condensate in headlights, sweat headlamps, reasons

Head fading is observed due to the appearance of condensate and sedimentation of it on the inner surface of the ceiling. To eliminate this phenomenon, it will be necessary to find out how the moisture can fall inside the headlights, because the visual lighting device looks hermetically.

Causes of steam fog can be the following:

• on the plastic body headlights have cracks
• there was a destruction of the sealant connecting the housing with a glass part of the headlight
• there are minor cracks on a glass surface.
• violation of tightness at the place of wiring
• ventilation channels have been clogged

As a result of completely different malfunctions, we obtain one result - a disruption of the tightness of automotive optics. But since the reasons for the appearance of condensate can be different, then the methods of elimination will be necessary to apply various.

Pharmacy fading can be observed both on the repair of cars and on brand new ones. Moreover, negative manifestations may be observed even if there is no objective reasons that the condensate may have no appearance.

incorrect headlamp

In some cars of the Chinese and domestic assembly, where there were serious claims to the quality of this assembly, headlights were often found quite often.

The main reason for this is an imperfect design. It is assumed that as a result of the assembly, the design is hermetic, i.e. Access to the airspace inside the headlamp should not be.

The wrong headlight captures the air outside the car, often its humidity is quite high. Increased air temperature inside the headlamp and the outer air cooled surface is good reasons for condensate formation. Modern cars are no longer equipped with such "blurred headlights", but for earlier release cars, such a malfunction was characteristic.

the headlight has fistula

Such a phenomenon as "fistula" is formed if when pressing on the headlight, for example, during an accident, it is not completely broken, but slightly moves away from the case. In the resulting minor hole, outer wet air and sedimentary water will be delayed.

microcracy glass headlights

For the same reasons, microcracks can form on the surface of the glasses, as a result - the appearance of fogging.

It should be noted that microcracks are so small that it is rather difficult to notice them with a naked eye. Nevertheless, the troubles that arise due to their presence will be apparent.

the hydro director has failed

Although this cause should be attributed to a specific, but not to impossible. Some headlights are equipped with hydraulic corrector. By turning the handle on the control panel, you can increase the pressure, from which the level of illumination will be increased, or vice versa, if necessary, it can be reduced in a similar way, by turning the handle to the other side.

When the hydraulic corrector breaks, the fluid flows inside the headlights, as a result - we observe fogging. Most often, the owners of domestic vases suffer from such a breakdown.

If the moisture comes through the check valve

Information about the tightness of the car headlights should be changed slightly, because most of the lighting blocks in modern cars are equipped with check valves, the task of which is to produce overwhelmingly expanding when warming up air lamps.

When the condensate appears inside such headlights, make sure that the check valve caps are available and check its serviceability.

How to troubleshoot problems, specialist recommendations

The desire to save a little on the repair after the accident leads to the fact that the auto owners make a decision on the installation of non-original spare parts for the car. And the lighting elements are no exception, because the cost of the original headlight is sometimes simply inexperienced.

There are problems if there is a poor-quality Chinese fake. Detect the place of damage sometimes it turns out to be difficult, with an external inspection defects are not detected.

There are two options here:

• search for headlight damage
• purchase and establish a new one, if not original, then at least more expensive and high-quality.

In order to obtain the desired result as a result of the repair, experts recommend:

• at the first stage of work, carefully dry the headlight - the remaining inside the moisture will again cause fogging
• if you remove the headlight problematic - you can use the hairdryer, which is emanating from it hot air to deliver the headlight from moisture.

Next, it will be necessary, using sealant, to ensure reliable insulation of each joint body joint with glass.

Sealant It is recommended to use colorless - connections in this case will look more accurately. With the help of the same sealant, you can extract all minor cracks.

Wet air can fall into a headquarters in the absence of rubber or plastic gasket at the location of the bulb to the housing.

We are looking for a fistula in the headlights, 100% method of determining the fistula

To unmistakably determine the presence and location of the fistula, you will need to remove the headlight. Further, in the size of the container, we pour water, we lower the headlight into it. Observation of the process of air bubbles appears the exact location of the fistula.

It should be noted, then he dried a headlamp, process the marked sealant. After driving the first layer, you will need to apply the second. Such a procedure will help get rid of condensate inside the headlight.

Budget breakup of cracks in glass headlights

Since glass defects sometimes have very minor sizes, then special lighting devices can be used to detect them.

If the chip or crack is detected, then the correct option will be the replacement of the cracked glass headlights to the new one, but it is not always possible - in most cases, the glass is sold along with the factory, unnecessary costs in this case can not be avoided.

Out of such a situation can be a tint film. In this case, the film should be selected. The transparent film. The film base will make it possible to cope with the task without any special problems, while all the existing cracks will be securely stuck, and the glass itself will stop collapse further.

If the crack is quite large, then the glass replacement cannot be avoided.

To reduce repair, you can try to find the original headlight on the instructions, but at the same time it is necessary to watch the degree of glass wear - you may have to expose glass to polishing.

Methods for drying poverty headlights

With the reluctance to complicate the repair process, the experienced drivers use the method of "dry" elimination of condensate. Especially relevant in the event that the headlight fades periodically. It will be necessary to remove the ceiling from the lighting device, weaken the fasteners of the lamps, unscrew them from the cartridge, but not completely.

Next, turning on the Middle Light, it is necessary to leave the car hour for an hour and a half, during this time the bulbs warm up. Then the headlights can be collected.

Condensate after this procedure should not appear. If it is observed, it will be necessary to take advantage of other methods to eliminate it.

Silicone sealants, which can be used to seal headlights

If the above-described headlight drying process turned out to be ineffective, it will still be necessary to spend time on a thorough inspection and detection of gap, cracks or chips.

In case of detection, a silicone sealant can be used. On sale it enters the cylinders and is available in any auto shop.

Application - the process is quite simple, with it will easily cope with each motorist. If there are problems with the definition of gaps or chips - it is better to immediately contact professionals - the masters easily determine them using optical or laser special devices.

It will only remain thoroughly close the detected Silicone defects.

It should also be borne in mind that the life of the sealants does not always turn out to be quite long, i.e. Problems may arise precisely because the sealant has lost its original qualities.

At the same time, the gaps can form as visible to human eyes and practically imperceptible. Most often, the middle-class cars are affected by such problems, assembled in the convex or on the converars of domestic auto plants.

If it is suspected that the culprit is a problem sealant - one way out, a neat application of silicone fresh all suspicious pieces.

Polishing of headlights as using buffing eliminate micro cracks on headlamps

If a crack is detected on the glass, you can apply a method of polishing. This will require a Bulgarian and a soft tip to it. As a result, polishing the edges of cracks, how-to "catch" each other out.

Synthetic transparent compositions for sealing

The second option would be rational to use the special surface processing rastresnutoy transparent synthetic composition, implement it in the automobile.

Such compositions are applied easily, dries quickly, does not absorb moisture, and most importantly - the penetration of the light beam do not interfere.

At the same time we should not forget about the rules of application of the material - a violation of technology of drawing synthetic compound will make your work useless.

What to do if water gets inside of the machine

Eliminating this option from the practice does not have to. Work in this case will be a long and laborious, it is necessary to produce seal lighting inside. If the experience of performing similar work there - it is easier to apply to the masters workshop. Furthermore, to perform such work may require the use of special equipment.

In the process of repair:

• dismantled the lighting unit
• disconnected from the vehicle electrical circuit
• made seal gaps anchorages technological holes by means of seals, gaskets, sealing compounds.

Some difficulties during the work can create design features specifically taken car model.

The machine is under warranty, and the lights misted

Not surprising that fogging headlights never observed in such cars as Porsche, SSC Tuatara or Koenigsegg Agera R, it prone to middle class cars, in such models often have defects in design, and is assembled there is a possibility of violations of manufacturing standards.

If fogging is observed on the headlights brand new car, which has not yet been to an emergency or accident put her headlights at the curb, the best would be the only solution - the presentation of claims manufacturers.

The elimination of the defect during the warranty period must be made free of charge. Of course, the manufacturer has the right to conduct an examination - because sometimes inexperienced drivers are sometimes the perpetrators of the problem.

If there is no service center in the settlement where you live, then you can contact the car manager in which the car was purchased, or to the dealer.

Advice Prope: If all the above methods do not help what to do

There is another one, you can say that "People's Method", which suggests a brake fluid to the headlight from foaming. In fact, it will attract the water molecules and condensate will disappear. But the brake fluid will also attract dirt and rubbish, ultimately the glass from the inside will drag into a dirty film and stops being transparent.

It will not give a positive result for a long time and a piece of silicone gel placed in the spotlight - it absorbs well, but expands quite actively, with time it can become so big that it will interfere with access light.

You should also recall those tips that may be truly useful and versatile, it is:

• headlamp polishing, but there is no guarantee that after riding on uneven roads from shaking and vibration cracks will not appear again
• use of modern transparent compositions, moisture-proof, characterized by good optical properties
• replacing glass.

For fog and ordinary headlamps, packages with silicone gel are also recommended. But there is a warning - the bag will be drinking moisture and increase the volume.

Those. It will be required to be periodically changed, otherwise it will be a hindrance for the normal operation of the lighting system.
