I used that thread several years ago--worked really well. I also recommend replacing the dessicant packs in the headlight assemblies. Its kept them clear since.

Source for dessicant packs?
Any aftermarket alternatives?

I am swapping my H5s out in favor of some Audette Collection JW Speaker LEDs and I want to ensure I have all the bases covered for the install.

The dissicant can be refreshed by heating it to near boiling and letting it sit there for a while. The downside is the plastic curls up.

You can cut the case on the seam to split it open dry the desiccant and then reseal it. I found that you can use silca gel from electronics packaging and put that it instead. (I would still dry it in the oven before putting it in.)

The title of this thread sounds like a fetish.
