Thank you I’m having that problem on the right side and indicator bulb gone

Aciu uz video! Man ta pati problema ant Focus'o :D

Thank you, Ford quoted me £1400+ for a new headlight because it would have failed it's MOT and said it would require removal of the front bumper and realignment, that was without VAT and labour. Managed to do it all in half and hour. using a hairdryer and dehumidifier then sealed it up again. Hardest bit was the clip for the wires, someone else suggested to push the clip toward the light then press the tab and it comes off better :)

I had the same problem with my Focus and solved it the same way, before I found this video. I searched the Internet for solutions, but did not find this one. Just now, by accident. Good video!

F*ck Ford for this! Same problem here!

Tea yea beer for you

Yea

I wanna buy you a beer

Looks fantastic!!!

Good video, I had a great deal more condensation in my headlight, so after emptying the water i pored 200ml of IPA (isopropanol alcohol ) into the unit and gave it a good shake emptied and repeated leaving just a bit of alcohol in the light fitting, a couple of minuets later using a hair dryer it was completely clean and dry, no water marks on reflector or lens, i then checked for bad sealing around the light unit but all was fine? so i checked the air vent to make sure it was not blocked and i found out that the removable rubber vent was faulty from the beginning as the hole in the bottom did not go through the rubber to a hole on the inside upper, this was the fault for mine, i cut a hole in the inner part at the top this allowed air to go through the rubber vent and i could now blow through it. (Note: the hole is at the bottom on the outside and should have had a hole on the inside at the top) .

I have exactly the same problem (same headlight side), but it's also accompanied with error on board- headlamp malfunction service required, and my right upper led (part of day light) don't work, until evening. Any advice? Thanks

Very nice video. Thanks for the explanation.

I’ve seen in the past people drilling a tiny hole at the bottom corner of the headlamp - nearest the centre of the car This allows water out when required and air flow to eliminate condensation

My car had water which we removed. Fitted new bulbs. Worked for a day and they don't work. How can I fix it

Happy days just did this after your video on wife's 2012 focus thank you fella 👍

Great help. By the bag you used..I'm a local!

Silica gel bags do the trick too

Thanks. Same car same problem lol. Mine it’s the driver side tho. Thanks very helpful

Ford want £1300 for a single assembly 🙂,

Thank you, i will give this a try.

Tadas you’re a legend. I plan to try this myself asap. Been a long term issue with my headlights.

Hi, great video! How long did this fix last and is normal no nonsense clear sealant ok or would it need to be heat resistant?

Superb job

Thank you!

Thanks. Got a bunch of water in mine from spraying the engine bay. Got it dried out just removing the main H11 light bulb and putting in front of fan. Only issue is that where all the dozens of water droplets were on the inside, they dried and left a small residue behind, so all kinds of little residue spots left on the inside where the inside glass can't be reached. Sucks. May spray some filtered water inside, slosh around, and redry. Not sure.

Thanks for this, I'm upgrading my mondeo for a newer one (2007 to 2010) the new car has condensation in the light so I was a bit worried (I've just spent 600 euros getting the old one fixed due to rusted connections because of water in the lights) I'll do the new one myself and save some money 👏

That’s what you get when you buy a cheap Ford product. NO headlight on a brand new car should be leaking that early!

i hade the same issue i simple made two big holes at the bottom of the light and it as fixed ease not heating involved turned it on for 15m and 100% fixed

What kind of glue do you use? thanks.

Nice one bud , 🙌🏼 Same car ,same issue .. saved this for when time comes to fix mine .. the funnel to direct the air 👌🏻Nice touch

I did this to mine and didn’t work just take a rubber of the bulbs in the back of the unit fixed for good no rain gets in don’t even have have to take light out again must need more air

i had this problem on my vw passat cc , i used the old fish tank clear seal for tanks, gorilla tape and run bead all way round once fully dry, i did another layer to be sure adn now is all fixed and yet millions spent and i fixed it with 1 tube and tape and yet volkswagen couldn,t ppffttttttttt vw

We’re this after market headlights or original oem headlights?

The ONLY proper seal method is to heat the housing assembly in an oven, separate the lense, remove old or existing sealant that failed, clean thoroughly with alcohol, apply NEW BUTYL RUBBER bead surround, reheat assembly, compress together, reinforce bond with tape while cooling, leave excess butyl alone, MOST IMPORTANTLY !!! DON'T FOLLOW THESE FOOLS USING DRILLS, SILICONE (omg🙄), SILICA GEL, AIR COMPRESSORS, VACCUMS, ETC. All ya need is an oven, 2 x 1ft pieces of wood blocking, $20 roll of oem butyl, book tape...backed by proper knowledge. It's out there...so go find it.

I have just had to do the same thing. It seems a common issue on this model.

Nice video, but please going forward turn down the so called background music 🙉 far to loud. 👍

Thanks mate, I'll do my focus today..cheers

Is it cause it has a cheap sealant from factory?

I have this issue with the xenon unit

Is the fix working 4 weeks on?
