Glad it helped!

That is not likely to help permanently. After all, you already have holes in your headlight assembly-vent holes in the back. The water will not run out a hole. The water is clinging to the inside wall of the headlight assembly. Only way to remove it reliably is evaporation, and my solution is a good way to do that.

It happens. Moisture reappeared in mine one time, too. Second time was a charm. It's been clear ever since. Inspect the headlight assembly and look for cracks that might be allowing moisture to enter. If you have a cracked headlight assembly, you can replace the entire part pretty cheaply, and there are how-to videos on RUclips for most makes/models/years. If you do that, I recommend replacing both sides. I'm replacing headlights on a vehicle in the near future, and all parts are $200. Not bad.

Not much needed. Most people have a vacuum cleaner. Other than that, all you need is a little duct tape and a length of hose from the local hardware store. You can do it!!!

@@Lookie-Lookie seen a video a someone drilling a whole in bottom seemed easier the removal of the bulbs and attachments. Ur right tho 👍

@@Barryupgraded I wouldn't drill holes in your headlight assembly. For one thing, water will be able to splash up into the unit and make things worse, unless you are very careful and thoughtful about where you place the hole. Also, it still won't stop moist air from entering. The problem in the first place is caused by moist air that condenses forming moisture droplets on the surface inside, and that can still happen if there is a hole drilled in the bottom. Remember, your headlight assembly already has holes (vents). Adding another hole will probably not help, especially if it is a tiny one. Best thing to do is make sure the existing vent holes are clear and then dry out the inside.

No, these are traditional moc toe work boats with no lining. On the inside, you see the suede side of the same leather you see on the outside.

Glad to be helpful. Happy riding!

Glad to be helpful. Good luck!

Youbetcha!

If the problem is recurring, you might have a crack in your headlight unit, or an open seam, that is allowing water to enter too easily. When the problem recurs too frequently, replacing the headlight unit might be a better option. Cost can be surprisingly low, and installation can be surprisingly easy, but it depends on the year, make, and model, of your vehicle. Search RUclips for "replace headlight" and the year, make, and model, and you will get an idea for how easy it is. An Amazon search for "headlight" and the year, make, and model, will find aftermarket replacement options that can be as low as $50 or lower, but it depends. My solution shown in the video is for occassional issues and would not be convenient for constant recurring issues. If you can identify a crack or open seal, you also might try sealing with silicon, but personally I would rather replace the unit at that point.

I can't recommend any of those other brands you mentioned. If you read the reviews, there are a lot of complaints about them coming apart, either the stitching or the soles. This is typical of companies who are trying to copycat the veterans but don't have the track record to know how to make a boot that last. Some of them, if you look closely in their product photos, you can see stitching that looks like soft white cotton thread. Whatever it is, it doesn't look durable. Here's my take… Either go with a "heritage" boot from an established brand with leather welt so you know you're getting a REAL boot, or go modern. And if you go modern, you can't beat Timberland Pro (amzn.to/4dmU1iB) or Keen (amzn.to/3y6LQXL). Both are great for comfort, durability, and style.

And what if you don’t have ONE?

Mock moc! Mock moc! 😂

One possibility is your new bulbs don't run as hot, and the heat of the previous bulbs helped clear the moisture. People see this issue sometimes when they switch to LED bulbs which run cooler (albeit usually brighter). You should still be fine. Just locate the vents on the back of the headlight units. There will be at least one, maybe multiple. Consult the service manual for your vehicle for clues. But you should be able to find them by visually inspecting the back of the headlight units. Make sure all vents are clear of debris. Having clear vents helps the air flow in and out of the headlight unit to clear condensation. And, of course, to help hurry the clearing of the condensation, watch this video for tips on how to use a vacuum and/or a hair dryer to speed up the clearing of the moisture.

I answer most questions within minutes. If you see a comment that is a year old with no reply, please let me know which comment you are referring to. To answer your question… There are multiple ways water can find its way inside a headlight unit. The most common way is through condensation. All air has water droplets (humidity) in it. When the air is very humid (a lot of water content), that air can enter the headlight unity through the vents, which are little holes in the back of the headlight unity that allows air to move in and out. At first you will not see the water because it is vapor in the air. But if the temperature then drops significantly, that water content can precipitate, just like when rain droplets form from humid air when the temperature changes. That's how the water usually gets in there. But that usually isn't a problem because of the vents. The purpose of the vents is to allow air to move in and out. So, when there are water droplets, it should only be temporary, because eventually drier and/or warmer air moves in through the vents, and the water evaporates into that new air. However, sometimes that ventilation stops working if the vents are clogged with dust and/or spider webs. When vents are clogged, there is no way for fresh air to move in and absorb the moisture. When that happens, the water droplets take much longer to evaporate, and sometimes they never do. So the solution is to clear out the vents. Look at the back of the headlight units and you should find holes. Sometimes the vent holes have rubber vent hole covers. You dealer or repair shop can help you locate them, as can the owner's manual. Once the vents are cleared, the water will start to evaporate, but the process can be a slow one, and some people do not want to wait. So that's where my vacuum and hair dryer technique can help speed up the process. There are other ways moisture can enter the headlight units, too. If a unit is cracked, water can drain right into the unit. When that happens, you can either seal the cracks/seams with silicone, or you can replace the headlight units. There are replacement units out there made by third party companies that can be much less expensive than parts sold by the original auto manufacturer. Once I replaced both headlight units on a 2008 Chevrolet Equinox because the plastic was too hazy and yellow from the sun's UV damage. I found the parts on Amazon and replaced both for a total cost of only $92, and to this day both lights are nice clear plastic and look like new. So you have a lot of options.

It doesn't have to be. But if it looks like more than you want to tackle, you might try my other technique.

Doesn't really matter what size you use, as long as you can fit it into the vent hole. I used a tubing from Ace Hardware that is used for drain applications, like to drain water from a dehumidifier and route it to a drain, etc. It comes in various diameters. It's soft and flexible so it fits through the small vent holes. I would check out your vent holes and figure out what is the biggest tubing that would fit-the bigger the better. I think mine was like 1/2" diameter or some such. Let us know how it goes!

@@Lookie-Lookie yes thank you I will update you when I try your technique out this Friday I appreciate it so much and thank you for replying so quickly enjoy the rest of your day 🙂

@@Lookie-Lookie I was able to use the tubing and vacuum yesterday without the blow dryer and it worked very well all the water was out and fog gone within about an hour maybe a little longer. However after returning home later I noticed a little water and fog back but I know when I use the blow dryer and vacuum this Friday the results will be much better with the flow of the warm air coming in from the blow dryer So thank you very much for your video it saved me money and I was able to replace my low and high beam bulbs with new LED lights.

​@@tinifutribe3274Glad it worked. If you continue to see condensation, look for cracks in the headlight unit. That could be causing moisture to enter more quickly. If you find cracks, seal them with silicone. If there are no cracks, and the moisture continues to return, it could be that your vents need to be cleaned out. So look for spider webs, debris, etc, that could be causing the vents to impede the flow of air flow. A little condensation from time to time is normal, but it should clear itself if the vents are open. Worst case scenario, you can sometimes replace your headlight units very cheaply depending on what car you drive. On a different vehicle, I replaced both headlight units for less than $200, and all I had to do was access a few screws with a screwdriver to remove the old ones and replace them with new ones. Do a Google search for the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and the word headlights, and you will find options. Do a similar search on RUclips to get how-to videos on removal and replacement. For some vehicles, it is not worth the bother because they are hard to remove and replace, but many vehicles make it easy, so it's an option.

@@Lookie-Lookie Thank you I will definitely look out for all of that and do my research please don’t stop the videos we all need it 😂 have a great day

Probably! I should do a better job in my video to emphasize that the vents not only help you fix a condensation problem, but they may have have actually caused the problem in the first place by being clogged. Just cleaning them could potentially fix the problem, although it would probably take a lot longer for the condensation to clear.

If you don't like a real moc toe, you might consider a modern construction like Keen. To me, a fake moc toe is like building a brick chimney on a house that has a gas furnace, or fake plastic window shutters the don't serve a function-very unnecessary and shouldn't even be there. But clearly people still choose these options, and everyone is entitled to their preferences. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Too much comments

No liner. When you look inside the boot, you can see the suede side of the leather. These boots are not insulated. There is a reinforcement piece for the heel and inside the toe, but much of the suede interior is exposed, very similar to Red Wing. As for model number, you can find the Golden Fox SKU and links for ordering in the description.

So glad you got a pair! And not surprised that you love them!

It works!

@@Lookie-Lookie gotta do what you gotta do😂

Be careful with that heat gun. You can melt the plastic with a mother-f***ing quickness.

@@Lookie-Lookie haha, yeah I know how to use heat guns, I do vinyl wrap work.

It can be found in the plumbing department of any big-box hardware store, like Home Depot. It comes in various diameters. But you can use any tubing you happen to have lying around.

Oh ok I’m at home depot now and I see the 100ft tubing but it’s all black I don’t see the clear one you have but I’m sure that doesn’t matter

@@tonylove4342 Try not to get 100ft. That would be a waste. If you go to a smaller outfit, like ACE Hardware, they will often sell it by the foot. Maybe try talking with a clerk and let them know you only want a short piece, not 100ft.

How many feet would you recommend?

I bought that 100ft tubing and I just cut the length I needed but your method worked I greatly appreciate you for taking the time to make the video you saved me thousands

I did not notice any serious clogging, and there was certainly no clogging by the time I was finished, as I was moving quite a bit of air through the headlight unit. Glad you like the video!

If the vents were plugged, but condensation still accumulated, that suggests that moisture was still able to get in there SOMEHOW, which does not surprise me. But if you are able to improve airflow through those vents, then you should see moisture issues fix themselves a little better, going forward. You may have to clear the moisture the first time with the help of a vacuum and/or hair dryer, and hopefully it will be good after that. Good luck! Hope the video helps you!

Not as unnecessary as your comment. If you're that bored, it may be time for your dirt nap.

You are correct. It can also be done with only a vacuum. And if you use both, you get results even faster. I have helped people using only one, or the other, or both. Use what you have available.

Heat does help a lot. But I've helped folks with this issue when all we had at our disposal was a vacuum, and it did the job. Whether vacuum or hair dryer, either one will do the job, and both are even better. It's all about moving air through the headlight unit to help the moisture evaporate. Obviously warm air can hold even more moisture and move it out of there more quickly.
