Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Moisture in Headlights

I'm fed up with this problem, because know my headlight on the passenger side is completely filled wityh condensation, and its effecting the usability of the light.

I have contacted Toyota with regard to this problem, and I'll go to bat for everyone here with this problem.

If they refuse to fix this, and it's a manufacturers defect...

I smell a class action lawsuit.

good luck

Yeah mine does the same thing and its ALWAYS the left one the right one gets a very small amount now and then but when it gets cold the left one is extremly bad.

good luck on getting that fixed!
I think that might be a common problem
with teh celica. Im glad mine hasnt done it yet though.

oh it will...

Yeah good luck Jameson, i have yet to have this problem but a lot of Celi have, The only headlight problem i have is a damn Moth got inseide it and i can't get it out!!!!

yeh my passenger side light has the same problem. let me know what toyota says about it.

my celica had that problem and toyota fixed it under warranty.

hmm... that's funny... i have the same problem! Keep us posted!

had the same problem until I put the vinyl kit on them

is the problem fixed just b/c you cant see the moisture? my friend who has the same problem just put on the same vinyl overlay as you and he still has the moisture.

im calling toyota right now, ill let you know what goes down.

my drivers side does it a lot but its been nice soo i took out the parking light and left it open and its all .. allmost gone

there is no more moisture. I had to wait till it was gone before I applied the vinyl.

i called and they will fix the problem as long as the headlight hasnt been punctured or cracked. the car must be under warranty though so for all of you that have a 00 are SOL unless you want to pay for a whole new headlight.

If you have bumper-to-bumper warranty left, you should be able to get them replaced. If you don't, good luck.

Yeah, this is fucking bullshit. I have had my passenger light replaced already once right after I bought it, and now I have the same problem again, but the car is not under warranty anymore so I am screwed. Everyone has this issue, I can't believe that they haven't done a recall on this obvious manufacturer defect. If someone decides to file a class action suit regarding this, please sign me up.

i would join if someone writes smething nice. if toyota doesnt cover it, why dont you just take the risk of baking ur headlight and then use silicone to close it and use a lot of pressure!!! and hopefully it works

I think they're pissed off [and rightfully so] because the point is that they shouldn't have to do anything - it shoudln't leak in the first place!

it worked for me...i just left my car parked with the headlights facing the sun to dry up the condensation then took the headlight out and baked them enough to melt the silicone then applied a bit more silicone and then clamped the shiz out of it...no problems so far

is there an install guide for this? im gonna get this done this weekend. today i parked my car in the sun and took a hairdryer to it, it worked for a little bit but once its cooled off outside it came right back.
