Sollution to getting water out of Altezza lights!

[Ridin13]

I think I found the solution to the water in the altezza lights. Its called Damp-Rid. Not sure how many people have heard of it. It's a moisture and water absorber. It's a small container with white crystals that you pour into it. The crystals absorb all the moisture around it.
I took the light off a placed the Damp-Rid container on the floor with the Altezza light leaning against the container with the bottom hole on the top, over the crytals. I left it there for a couple days and all the water droplets and the fog is gone and it's all dried up inside. I'm gonna leave it there a little longer to be safe, but it worked, all dry!!! Its only a few dollars!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey, good find! I don't have altezza lights but i would use it if i did. Maybe I can use it on my headlights. Always getting condensation in there. Even after replacing them. Oh well.

or you can jes throw away your altezzas? lol jes kidding guys...

Damp-Rid? Where can you get it at? auto, walmart, etc. Good find. Sounds like the stuff you see in those lil white containers or baggies that say "do not eat". (used for same purpose)

I got it at the grocery store, but you should be able to get it at Wal-mart or some other place like that.

Hey I am curious as to this too. I dont understand exactly how you did it. Did you open up the Altezzas? Did you just pour in the crystals. I really need to do this. Thx

Nice solutions. Two problems though...

1. If it leaked once...it will probably leak again.
2. It won't get rid of water spots or other dirt that is left behind.

Hope it works out for you alright though. Those things just left a very sour taste with me after two sets went down the ****ter.

my solution would involve a shovel..

I took that into consideration thats why i think we could reseal them with some silicone after we dry them out and maybe we can get rid of this problem for good.

Hope this helps. here's a few pics of what I did.

This is what the Damp-Rid looks like.

I took the light off the car and leaned it against the container of Damp-rid. The crystals are poured into the container.

I leaned the light on upside down with the hole for the blinker over the crytals.

You have a point.
1. I'm, sealing both lights and it should keep the water out unless it leaks in threw the light holes, which I'll try to seal
2. Yes there are some water spots on the chrome part of it, but the hardly noticeble. The fog on the inside is gone also. It looks good as new.

If you can see here, not a good pic.

I plan on creating a "how too" involving this method.
