Default Water in the headlight

Hi All,

I installed MORITOMO HID to notice the next day that I had some condensation inside the headlight.

I also lost this tiny ribber yellow dark elbow rubber hose that is connected to the headlight>

Where can I find a new one.
And Can I open the headlight to remove condensation?
Water is dripping inside

Thank You

Did you put the rubber caps back on after you installed HID's? There is a kit with the vent tubes you can buy from the dealer. http://www.tascaparts.com/parts/inde...&siteid=213668

Do you mean clean or dry?
Dry the interior with a hairdryer after removing the bulbs.
Clean as mentioned above.

To 180

Can you help to clarify a few things?
So first dry the inside with a hair dryer and then pour methanol to clean the inside headlight?

Right?

Just to make sure.

Thank you

I thought you wanted to dry the inside, but you used the word clean so ....
You may end up with water spots and you may decide to clean the inside as well.
