How to keep water/moisture out of headlights

[spadepro22]

I put in some hids and with the wires running out to the ballast the plastic cover that keeps the lights sealed cant be used. What are you guys using to keep water/moisture out of the lights?

looks like crap but you could seal them with high temp silicone.

Seems like that would be to much of a hassel to take off. Hope it doesnt come to that.

You can use a rubber 0 ring, like a grommet. The only thing is to find a size that would work & and run your wires through, Done.

Go buy a grommet that fits the wires and silicone the wires in the grommet. Drill a hole in the headlight cover that is the correct size for the grommet, and you shouldn't have any problems with moisture.

Yeah, I would say grommet of a butt load of silicone. I would go with the grommet though.

Both sets of HIDs that I have, already had a grommet installed with the wires running through them. All I had to do was drill a hole in the factory plastic cover and put the grommet in place with a little silicone.

So I go to lowes get the gormment, run the wires threw the hole and silicone it right?

By doing it like that, won't you have to redo this application each time the bulb burns out? Hopefully you got some quality bulbs if so.

No, the application only has to be done once. If you need to change a bulb it is done just like normal. You would remove the plastic cover with the grommet in it and then be able to get the bulb out.
