Prius (2001-03) :: Discoloration Inside Headlight Lens?
I have a 2002 that I recently "bumped" into a wall, requiring replacement of the drivers side headlight assembly (along with a little body work). The body shop said they would buff the passenger side lens to make it look just like the new one, but when I picked up the car the headlights looked like day and night. The foreman told me that they buffed the lens as best as they could, but the discoloration was on the inside and that there was no way to take the lens off the assembly. Is this true, or just trying to sell me another headlight assembly?

I've noticed my 2011 headlights have a haze on the inside of the lens. I've tried polishing the outside with many different products, and it does a good job of the outside, but you can tell there is still hazing. A pal of mine also purchased a 2011 and kept his halogen lights and his lights still look new. His vehicle isn't even garaged..
View 12 RepliesTouareg :: Headlights Fogging On Inside Of Lens?
The headlights on my 05 V8 (12K mi) are starting to "fog" up a bit on the inside -- and all within the last 200mi or so. The fog doesn't appear to be the result of condensation inside of the lens. Instead, it almost looks like the glass is now dirty and, I'd guess, about 10% opaque immediately in front of the main projectors on both sides. It shows no signs of going away under any conditions. FWIW, the weather has been steady temperature-wise and has been quite dry for the last few weeks.
View 6 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Moisture On Headlights Inside The Lens
I recently noticed both of my headlights had a little bit of moisture inside the lens. I'm not sure if it had to do with the HID installation. I remembered I had to make holes on the dust cap but I made sure I closed up the holes with electrical tape after I was done.
Recently (couple hours later) I went to check on the headlights, the passenger side lens seems like it evaporated but the driver side lens has a minor streak of moisture at the bottom. I took pix but i cant upload through my phone. I will post them up on Monday. The climate is constantly changing here in NYC because of the fall season.
Could it be the heat from the HID bulb and the humidity from outside?
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2001 F250 - Lens On OEM Fog Lights Removable?
Thought I'd ask a quick question here...
Is the lens on OEM fog lights removeable? Mine is fogged up and discolored, so was wondering if the unit comes apart where I can clean & reseal ?
Or just buy a new set ?

Prius (2001-03) :: Headlights Won't Turn Off, Even With The Car Off
This afternoon, when my wife went to start my 2001 prius, it was dead. I disconnected the 12V battery (relatively new) and checked the voltage. About 3 volts. So I put a charger on it and hoped. After about 12 hours it seemed to have enough charge to try it, and immediately the headlights turned on. I jumped in the car to turn off the headlights but they wouldn't turn off. I honestly don't know if the switch was in the on position to start with, but it's definitely in the off position now, and the lights are still on. What's going on here?

I sold my really nice Gen1 to a lady friend about 10 months ago. The few months I owned it, it was fairly trouble free and all I did was have the dealer replace the whole rack and pinion steering assembly on an old recall (no cost). Also change the OEM battery to the Yellow Top Optima.
Now the new owner has ask be to look into a problem she is having with the head lights coming on after she leaves the vehicle. It appears that this is just the head light and not the tail lights, so I would say that it has something to do with the daytime running lights part of the light control system.
She tells me that when she turns them off each time it happens, they come back on again when she closed the car. Since this was running the 12v battery down, she has been disconnecting the battery at the neg. terminal. So that has erased the OBD codes and history.
I now had her drive the car to my shop and I am waiting to see if the lights come on. This seem to start happening when our weather got cold, into the 20s and 30s. Not sure it hat is a factor. But today has been in the hi 40s and the lights have not come on since the car was turned off.
Now, I'm going to go out lock the car and turn the alarm system on to see if that has any effect.
Prius (2001-03) :: MFD Dims After Turning On Headlights
I've noticed that if I have the dimmer wheel dialed up to maximum brightness before the detente that puts the mfd back to regular daytime brightness (hope this makes sense), in about the next minute and a half after I turn the headlights on, the mfd dims to roughly half the original brightness.

Ok. So i left work yesterday and realized that my low beams are both out. These are new bulbs so I checked the fuse under the engine hood. It had not broken. I grabbed my volt meter and got no current DC going into the fuse. Where the relay is located? This is for a 2001 prius.

What's the best way to find the information on changing a broken lens on a daytime running light led on a 2013 Prius 2? Can't find anything on YouTube. Would the owners manual have anything like that? The led still works but I'm afraid moisture will cause it to malfunction. Will I have to buy the whole led assembly?
View 8 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Condensation Appearing On Inside Of Fog Light Lens On Both Sides
Back in July of last year, I installed the OEM foglight kit and replaced the lightbulbs with a pair of yellow Luminics JDM 55w H11 bulbs.
A few months later when it would rain or snow, condensation began appearing on the inside of the foglight lens on both sides. It would burn off when I left the foglights on for a while, but would reappear shortly thereafter. The driver's side would generally stay clear most of the time but the passenger side would always have moisture on the inside.
Then, a few months ago, the driver's side bulb seemed to burn out. Today, when I took them apart to reinstall the clear lightbulbs, it turns out that fluid (it actually looked like windshield washer fluid) had gotten inside the connector and shorted it out, actually melting some of the plastic to the contact. It took a while, but I was able to scrape off enough of the plastic from the contact to get it to work with the JDM bulb again.

My wife usually doesn't drive at night, but I had her car for the evening and I noticed that when the AC cycles her headlights dim momentarily. I took the car to advance and they said it was a bad battery, I replaced the battery and it still does it.
I had them check the charging system after I replaced the battery, and it checked out. What could cause this, alternator??

Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: Headlights Dim When A/C Turned On
My 2004 Santa Fe has something failing, but I need to know which direction to go. When the defroster or air conditioner is turned on the idol fades momentarily and my headlights dim. This does not happen when the heater, alone, is on.
This is my 2nd Santa Fe; I have my 2003 in my barn. The transmission gave out at 204K miles and this one was in my neighborhood so I just swapped. So, I have lots of parts.
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2001 - Headlights Are Always On
I have a 2001 jetta mk4 and I was thinking about getting some halo lights for it. But then I thought it would be useless because the headlights are always on regardless. So is it normal for the headlights to be on all the time? And if it is, is there a way to bypass the headlights so if I did,get halo lights, only the halos would light up?

Camry :: 2007 Spray Fluid Went Behind The Radio Lens
I just purchased an 07 Camry LE. The dealer was sloppy in detailing it, and while spraying the dash, got fluid behind the radio lens, which now has run marks on the back. I need to remove the radio lens safely, The lens moves around a bit, so I think it should be able to be removed.
