I did the EK9 DIY Headlights and shortly after I got moisture in my headlights. First thing to check is that all the seals are tight and no way for water to get in. If you see any gaps use a water proof sealant like Sealeys all clear or something similar.
Next thing is to take the headlights out and drill a 4-6mm breather hole in the bottom of the headlight. Wait for a nice warm day and all that moisture will evaporate out of your headlight. If you can't wait use a hairdryer or heat gun and just blast the moisture out...
Worked a treat for me.
thanks for all your help guys, and as much as i want real EK9 headlights, the money could go towards something else on my car, maby later down the track, i will do some re-sealing so this does not happen again and the moisture stays there for a good week if its not in the sun :S
If you keep a watch on Ebay, genuine ones do occasionally show up on there secondhand at good prices - I bought some on there at around the $100 mark for a pair! It took quite a few months of watching before they turned up, and I had to make the search very specific ("used" items) to ignore the fake new ones which are always on there.
how do u tell from fakes to oem? seems the ones on ebay look pretty good, almost like oem
Besides the fake ones being the wrong colour... OEM CTR is actually a light gun metal colour, fakes are usually black..
The legit OEM will have a stamp in the glass saying "Stanley" the company that makes Honda's headlight and taillights.
Anybody have headlights for em1? Let me know & how much?
