Headlight "fsweat"! — Toyota Avensis, 2.0 liter, 2008

   Toyota Avensis 20 2008

I sweated when it was warm, now it's cold, the moisture in the headlight has frozen and sits there contentedly.
Now I'm blind in one "eye" and don't even know what to do.

It turns out that there must be condensation in the headlight. A warranty case is the case in which the moisture in the headlight "floats" in a brazen way, and does not "hang" frozen to the wall. But the fact that I drive blind is not interesting to anyone.

Come on, let's do it ourselves.
The plans include a visual inspection of the vents, drying with a hairdryer and a lot of interesting things, because given the degree of my unfortunateness, it's not about clogged channels.

And I didn't say "stuck". The air is humid, a small gap and kaput headlight!

m
mainer 17.02.22

I think it will cost twenty thousand,
the moisture does not "flow" there, but it condenses there, right now I'll drive it into the garage, I'll see what's there.

s
somebody 17.02.22

Hmmm... It seems to me that where there is a crack in your headlight, from where moisture enters the headlight.

What is the price of a new headlight?

no more options)

I warmed it up with a hair dryer, the moisture of the glass was down, I thought that it would freeze there, it would not interfere. and as a result, the headlight fogged up again, but in a thinner layer and more evenly) It is necessary to remove the headlight and the bumper, respectively, but so far there is no way to do this.

somebody 17.02.22

So what? How did the epic with the headlight end?

In that year, I had such garbage from the back, it was a little sweating less than the speck of the cha, there was a detselye, I went to the officials where I took it, the mechanic came out without any problems, ordered a new one and put it in 2 days later. Fortunately, the Germans with such problems are nothing ... they will replace it in 5 seconds!

m

damn they give) but they don’t want to change me (

D
Dim Chip 17.02.22

I have the same nonsense, I came to the OD, they wanted to cheat me, saying that something was broken off, and we will not change it, I asked to show what was broken off, -they then put it in a joke and changed the right headlight under warranty )

m
mainer 17.02.22

It seems like without it, nothing.

I also sweat a little, but it goes away quickly.
You don't have to remove the bumper to remove the headlight.

m
mainer 17.02.22

Thanks for the comment, I'll look into it!
Happy New Year to you too, may everything work out in the new year!)

M

I put xenon a week ago, without removing the bumper.
You unscrew the three bolts from above, remove the two caps that are attached to the headlight, bend the protection under the fender, there also needs to unfasten one cap, unscrew the bolt connecting the fender and bumper. It is also desirable to remove the grille, the bumper is also attached to the body with a latch. When you unscrew all this and carefully disconnect the bumper, pull it towards you, it will move away with a click and there will be enough space to remove and install the headlight. That's it, good luck. Happy New Year, good luck.

mainer 17.02.22

Thanks, very good advice, I'll try to implement it.

s

I read here at my Citroens Club about one way to test fogging of headlights (like a guarantee / not a guarantee). Turn on the remote and wait 15 minutes. If not dried - a guarantee.
You need to check in a warm box.

You need to remove the cap for the summer. For one day. I think it will pass ...

what's the lid?

m
mainer 17.02.22

also an option!)

look)

m

You will open the hood, on the other side of the headlight) There you will also have to pull out the plug

l
logvinov-avensis 17.02.22

where is the lid?
they say there are still ventilation channels from below the headlights covered with a film
, can they open them?

m
mainer 17.02.22

No, just open the lid at night (rubber) if there is a lot of water, then you can ride with it open, it will disappear in a few days, and then close the bag there.

l
logvinov-avensis 17.02.22

understood, and if I already have an aquarium there?
maybe take it apart and clean it?

m
mainer 17.02.22

Silicogel are balls in a paper bag, usually a couple of these can be found in a new shoe box. I tied the thread myself with a needle, lowered it into the headlight.

l
logvinov-avensis 17.02.22

what kind of silicone is that?
I didn’t
usually see balls separately in bags on a thread ((

m
mainer 17.02.22

did not understand, but the problem was solved

l
logvinov-avensis 17.02.22

I mean, you didn't understand it?
I think all the same to disassemble it, dry it and put enough sealant

m
mainer 17.02.22

I threw a silica gel on a thread into the headlight, which absorbs moisture. (in bags in shoe boxes) Two bags were enough for the whole summer and spring. Farah doesn't sweat. Sometimes only after washing or during rain it can drag on for a short time.

l
logvinov-avensis 17.02.22

I b ** also started to sweat the right headlight
, but I have at least after painting)
how did you end up?
I dismantled it or it went away by itself,
otherwise I'm afraid to reach the cold.
I'm thinking of doing something while it's warm

D
Dvoreckov 17.02.22

I heard that from the inside you need to make a small hole to breathe --- 1 millimeter.

m
mainer 17.02.22

I don't even know about this

D
Dvoreckov 17.02.22

and by the way, is it made in Great Britain on the headlight?
