Default Re: SF moidture inside the head lamps?

I experienced it too pero maliit lang so di ko na pinansin as opposed to disturbing the dealer and getting headache trying to prove my point I decided it wasn't worth it... Yes it also happens on cold days or rainy days pero kung wala naman ulan it never happens...

Merong isang Sta Fe owner is Innova Boy ata yun grabe yung sa kanya parang pinasukan na ng fog yung headlamps nya. I think sakit nato ng Santa Fe headlamps its just a matter of matindi ba or maliit lang...

Gud evening po. Ganun din po observation ko sa headlights ng SF ko. Pag malamig or umulan and mainit po makina, magkakaron ng moist sa loob ng headlights. Pag mainit na weather, nawawala rin. Naisip ko baka trapped moisture sa loob ng headlights, so I tried to blow some hot air inside the headlamps thru the socket of the high beam bulb, para mag evaporate trapped water/moisture. Pero bumabalik pa rin. Muka naman di po leak sa rubber moldings kasi di nalalagyan ng tubig pag umuulan o nililinis, talagang moist lang lumalabas. I'm suspecting now na baka sa pag linis ng engine, dun pumasok konti water thru the bulb sockets and na trapped na inside.

yah mine does that too. 5 days after i got my unit. the moisture will evaporate after a while. will only happen if you open the headlights right after a carwash. i didn't worry too much about it as the electricals were not affected.

Default Re: SF moisture inside the head lamps?

thanks guys for your replies.,.,.now i know na marami pala tayo na ganun ang headlamps,.,..,

meaning sakit na ba talaga ng SF yun?

BTW guys.,.,do you think the casa can rectify this..,.,though the electricals are not affected my worries are baka sa katagalan eh magiwan siya ng mark inside the lamps(stained headlamps)?

I'm kind of hesitant kasi to bring this up again to my dealer coz they might ask me to leave my SF to them for checking.,.,. mamimis ko si Fe niyan tsktsktsk

Cool Re: SF moisture inside the head lamps?

I think that it is worth the temporary sacrfice sir. Have it serviced nalang when you can make time for it.

Normally to cure this problem they just take out the assembly, wipe the moisture on the insides or blow it with a heatgun. It can then be resealed with silicon.

This happens even to the best of brands.

I think this is a defect in the design of their headlights...

Am not sure about that. I personally have not experienced the moisture problem since I got my unit back in 2007.

i think design? im not sure. sa pagkakalikot ko kasi nung SF namin, napansin ko yung headlight assembly na parang may maliit na outlet (parang maliit na rubber hose). siguro singawan ng init? ewan. kasi yung iba naman naming sasakyan wala nun e. or meron, hindi ko lang napapansin.

Default Re: SF moisture inside the head lamps?

that's true.. medyo isa yan sa mga design flaw.. may na-release ako na ganyan din ang problem.. hindi ko alam kung kilala nyo sya.. si jose manalo ng eat bulaga.. since nasa media sya or have access to it our dealer decided na palitan ang unit.. ganun pa din ang nang-yari, may moisture pa din.. not cause of alarm naman yun actually, very minute particles of moisture trapped inside while the whole headlight assembly was being sealed. yun lang talaga cause nun..

kaya yung sinasabe nung isang nag-post na ang sinabi sa kanya ng s.a. (service advisor) na to take picture... delaying tactics lang yun.. they should given him a good explanation lang..
