I think I have a 1 inch ++ hole that i drilled lol.. Nothing happened for months. @@

I drilled the same thing on my sister's 10 Jetta. Didn't cover it up too. Nothing happened.

 

Dry in L.A.? It's between 0-35F in Madison, WI and there's more moisture in the air than there usually is. It was foggy here the other day....that probably didn't help.

 

No no no! Do NOT cut the HID wires. They must carry a lot of power and any deterioration to their capability can make the kit not work, and will certainly void any warranty (from us or any other supplier). The included rubber grommet should work just fine. To get the moisture out, take the tape off and let the car sit in sunlight for a while.

 

Its pretty cold here and we don't get enough sun to really dry it out (not until April or May). The wires were never cut and the grommets are a very thin rubber. I would have liked something more robust. I'm going to remove the bulbs and run the hair dryer in it until it dries out. I'm hoping it doesn't take too long. Then I'm going to take some putty and seal up the hole in the cap. Hopefully that will keep any moisture from coming back in. I won't be doing this until tomorrow and I'll post my results for anyone else running into the same kind of trouble.

 

so far i have no issues with mines being cut and reconnected with quick disconnects. even if there are any issues with the kit i can get them for very very cheap. so cheap that i probably shouldn't name any prices cuz it may easily ruin peoples business here.

 

so I started the restoration (read drying) of my headlights with a hair dryer and I'll say that it's working well so far. there was quite a bit of moisture in the headlight and I let the dryer run without heat for about 1.5 hrs. There are condensation marks on the inside but its better than drops of water. The other headlight only had a little bit of water so that one only took about 30mins to dry.

I used JB Weld Putty tofill the majority of the hole with the stock wires run through. Then I put some kitchen and bath caulk (that's all I have right now) to seal the rest of the hole. The JB weld putty worked great and the caulk is sitting to set up right now. In a few hours I'll reinstall everything and I'm confident the headlight will be sealed again. The only thing that somewhat worries me is the caulk. I hope it can endure the extreme WI weather.

 

hey, i found only 1 cover. you probably don't need them anymore since you already filled up the hole

 

hahaha! Thanks for looking out! Yeah, the caulk is still a little tacky so I'm leaving it overnight before I start handling it again.
