how i can fix stop leak?

 

[1991vert]

check the gasket on the blinker fluid...



some people have fixed the build up of condensation in the headlight by drilling a few SMALL holes in the headlight housing

Yea, even on my '89 OEM lights, I drilled two very small holes (don't remember the size) on each of the two lower corners of the lights....a day or so in the sun and it cured it.....

although I'm sure it would suck to be drilling on your NEW lights......if they were still BRAND new..I'd probably be asking for a replacement ;-)

silicone the seams before installing them

They key is to seal them when you first get them, even before you pull the sticker tab off the hole for the bulb.

If you dont have any silicone around, Electric Tape works pretty good and blends in to the factory rubber that goes with the housing.

Another thought, get them dryed out and swab the inside with some rubbing alcohol.....should help with the moisture next time.

It's a problem with the entire overall design of the headlights, OEM or aftermarket. Ford had a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) to address customer complaints of condensation inside headlight lenses, but not a whole lot can be done besides what was already mentioned.

Try this method, I've heard more than once that it works well.
