AM guys! or anyone who knows...

luvmyGT · December 11th, 2009, 02:26 PM

So i bought the black turning signals from AM in september...theyre great but the only problem is one of them has alot of moisture inside of it to the point where the whole thing is almost covered. Now i know aftermarket lights do that alot, but oddly enough the other turning signal doesnt get any moisture at all. Cud it be that one was not sealed properly??

Lefty · December 11th, 2009, 02:33 PM

Yeah, the biggest thing with aftermarket lights are the seal of them. Did you seal them at all when you got them or did you just put em' on? I know their headlights they recommend sealing them.

luvmyGT · December 11th, 2009, 02:34 PM

well i figured turning signals wouldnt be so bad so i didnt seal em

what if when spring time comes i seal em then??

Lefty · December 11th, 2009, 02:40 PM

You can try that...Let em' dry out, seal them, and then throw them back on and see how they hold up...

NASTY03GT · December 11th, 2009, 02:42 PM

Yeah, it's best to seal them with silicone adhesive. To get the moisture out, I recommend taking them out and putting them on your driveway in the sun to evaporate all the moisture out. Hope this helps.

AMChrisYoung · December 11th, 2009, 03:10 PM

If you have the time to uninstall and re-install the light now, it might be a good idea to take care of the light before the spring time. There's about a 50/50 chance that the lenses will end up yellowed from the condensation in them. If you don't want to use a hair dryer, and you're going through freezing temps, you can always just take the light out and bring it inside your house and leave it somewhere warm for a day or two to dry out. After that, all you have to do is seal it and re-install.

And just so you know, it's a good idea to re-seal any light that you get, from any manufacturer, just to be sure that there's a good seal on it. We recommend sealing all of our lights, because sealing before you install can save you a lot of time in the long run.

white03v6 · December 11th, 2009, 03:19 PM

I second AMStanger...because my smoked headlights have permanent damage from condensation because i waited 2 months to reseal them instead of doing it once i noticed the condensation was forming. same situation, one light was getting condensation, while the other one wasnt. id do it asap so you dont go through the same thing i did.
