2005 Ford Escape Headlight Condensation

drill a tiny 1/8" hole in the bottom side corner away from the front of the light to allow it to drain, but not fill with water while driving in the rain.

Replace the headlight, as there has to be a crack somewhere to let the condensation in.

Hello. yes it can be done and here are the steps:

You can drill a small hole in the bottom of it so it will drain or replace it.

Hi!!

Check for a rubber piece (seal), that goes between the headlight housing and the socket. It may be missing, broken or installed incorrectly. Check the pasenger side to see the rubber seal. I piece is in place, check socket's (2) locking tabs and headlight housing, some times one breaks and no water tight seal is achieved.

Don't forget to rate this Post. Good Luck..

You cant, just replace both theadlights. they are yellowed and hazed over anyhow. you wont believe how good new headlights will be for you.

condensation is because theres no ventilation tube on the headlight, drill a 1/4 hole underneath each end of the headlight and problem solved.

Here's a video that will show you how to replace the headlight bulbs in your Ford Escape.

Okay if you have condensation in them now take out your headlight housing and your bulbs. Let them sit in the sunlight until the condensation has evaporated and use a glass cleaner to clean up any spots. Then get some clear RTV from an auto parts store or Wal-Mart maybe 2 or 3 tubes and seal all the around the headlight housing. If you have projection style headlight the rubber boot on the back can let in moisture if not properly sealed. Make sure this has a tight fit and if you notice a hole use some of the RTV around it. Repeat this procedure with the other side. I hope you have good luck with your project!

found this online- haven't tried yet though--
How do you change a headlight bulb on a 2003 Toyota Celica GT? Under the plastic covering the headlight there is a lot of fog and condensation and I want to clean it off, so how do I take off the plastic that covers the headlight?

Seem to be seal is wear off
already on the front cover
The way to open that
1. There is four screws at the back of
the headlights and unscrew them
2. Pull the headlight and dry it
by wiping or heat of the sun or
anything that can release the fog
3. Buy silicon and seal the headlight
gap with silicon and let it dry for a hour
This will help kept away fog
and condensation for sure
