  • Water in headlight

    Well theres some water drops on the inside of my headlight. Any tips on how to get them out? or any way to open the headlight up?

    Thanks

    don't open it - the bucket. you'll never get it back together correctly.

    You can do a couple of things to prevent the water.

    First, remove the bucket. by removing the plug from the rear - then the clips, then pull on the mickey-mouse arm.

    Allow bucket to dry (completely).

    Now - here's the ideas that have worked on my past 86s (and ideas I'm seen others use).

    1. The plug itself. It has a foam type washer/gasket in it (or it's suppose to) that seals it to the bucket. Try making a secondary (thicker) gasket. Get an old Tire innertube. Remove the gasket and use it for your pattern. This is what worked for me. Also - let the original gasket DRY if you re-install it.

    2. Apply a clear silicone to the edges of the bucket - sparingly

    3. Drill some drainage holes on the bottom-side of the bucket.

    That's about all I can offer.
