Misted headlamps

Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

 

I have a problem with the headlamps on my 94 spec VR6 misting up. Am I correct in thinking that the front glass can be removed? Does the whole headlamp unit need to be removed to do this? Will fitting new seals cure the problem?

 

Cheers,

 

VR6Steve. :roll:

Yeh you'll need to remove the whole headlight.

 

Flip the bonnet and it's all pretty self explanitory. 2x bolts per light to remove the units, unplug them obviously. Then the plastic trim unclips, finally remove the metal clippy things and the glass lens comes off, be careful you don't drop it. I'd do it all on a towel or something!

 

As far as seals go i'm not sure, the metal clips insure that the seal is tight, you might need to adjust these to create a proper tight fit. HTH.

Do they have replacable seals then? And should they be replaced if you open the units up for any reason?

I don't think they are very easily replaced, it's all sort of integrated into the light housing. You could probably buy some kind of squishy rubber stuff to run around the bit where the lens butts up.

 

STORM 2, 2 screws I believe..? :)

You're a screw! :lol:

 

2 at the top and the hidden one down below, as per the photos in the how-to guide...

 

You can also buy new seals

 

535 941 119 "gasket" according to ETKA. No idea how much they are tho.
