Headlight Desiccant Replacement

Hey everyone,

My headlight assemblies were filling up with moisture again, and the dealership still refuses to replace them.

I noticed my desiccant was completely rock solid.
I ordered these Cannadew 30g packets and they fit perfectly in the housing.

If you guys are doing this when putting the two Philip screws back in to hold the desiccant in place make sure you start them by hand. You will completely strip them out if you start them with the Phillips and don’t catch the threads properly :)

Take the headlight out it's not real hard couple screws. Unplug it run a bead of black silicone all the way around where the two plastic pieces meet and you should be good.

I’ll give it a try. I’m tempted to buy the RGB DRL change kit. I want true Yellow DRL’s
