Condensation in already sealed taillight
Bought the bullitt 6 months ago. It had condensation in the taillight, so I took it off and sealed it w/ rtv silicone, dried it out well, and it was perfect. Till a month ago when the weather turned cold and wet. Now it has fogged back up and won't clear. I went all around the casing w/ the silicone. Any other recommendations or ideas on how to clear this up? Permanently.

If you have not you might want to seal where the bulbs connect to the housing as those crappy bushing wont always seal well. take off the bulbs and put on some vasoline or grease to make it seal better.

pics of the bullit please :)

Agreed, especially when it gets damp and cold or if the humidity in the air is right it will do that mine did it this fall when it started getting cool at night. It didn't seem cold but it was just enough to make the fog on the windows. I ended up using vasoline to coat where the bulb goes in. Made a mess but kept the water out.

Haven't tried to grease/vaseline the bulb gaskets and will try that. I was so ticked off to see it fog up because it was a pain to get to the housing the first time. Oh, well. If there's any other suggestions I would appreciate to hear. I'll get to this next day off.

Not better than a cobra but I'd say better than a GT. Dont feel stupid, its how you learn :)
|
it's got five or ten more HP than the GT, different exhaust and intake. They have no spoiler, which is why I didn't get one... Talk about a bad decision :(
|
After owning a GT and Bullitt from the same year, I can say the Bullitt is better hands down. Modest power upgrade, but much better power band. And the suspension is where it wins. The GT is wallowy (like a Cadillac) in comparison. The B hooks up better and is a different machine in the twisties. And they're rare. Since moving to Vegas I've seen many Machs and Cobras, and only one Bullitt. Oh, and the seats. Oooohhhhhh, the seats.
|
Thank you! How much do they run for, bullitt?

I've heard of people taking a very small drill bit and drilling the center on bottom of headlights/tailights to allow condensation to drain. Don't know if it's a smart idea or not never tried it.
