according to a Chrysler technical bulletin on this issue you need to drill a small hole in the top center of the plastic housing that surrounds the headlight. this will allow moisture out.
drill a small hole in the back or bottom of the head light assembly to allow the moisture to escape.
Cloudy reflectors are the result of water in the headlight assembly. Many auto body parts retailers will be able to sell you an aftermarket headlight assembly that isn't cloudy. Beyond that, the highway department has specifications regarding how bright your headlights can be. A good, commercially available halogen headlight is about the limit.
Volvo headlight wipers are dual purpose wipers. Not only are they designed to remove water to clarify your trip at night in the rain but it is also used to remove dirt, grime, grease, the owners lipstick and/or Chapstick. As Volvo owners fall in love with their Volvo's, they tend to become clingy and get a little too close to their cars. Sometimes Volvo owners can't see at night because they have spoiled their cars and the car begins to use lipstick and Chapstick as well and in some instances have been found kissing other Volvo's. This kissing of one car to another can scratch the lens' surface of the headlight, if there is anything on the lens of either vehicle, such as dirt, grime, grease, lipstick or Chapstick.
If I'm not mistaken you should have sealed beam headlights as mine does. If you are getting water into a sealed beam headlight you will have to replace the lamp. The old one is no longer sealed.
I opened mine by placing in the oven at 200 degrees for about 8 minutes. When putting it back together make sure you re-silicone it close or water will leak in.
there is a plastic clip that holds in the bulb on the back side of the headlight under the hood, its a circular clip that turns either way and on some vehicles you have to take the whole fixture out(like a 2000 ford taurus) then the bulb comes out of the headlight assembly and has an o-ring that seals the water out and holds the beam in
first remove the plastic nut on the back of the headlight assembly. it is about 3inches in diameter. then remove the rubber water gasket. then, turn the bulb half a turn. remove the spring that hold the bulb in and the bulb should come out. it is a little trickie but it worked for me. good luck
The impeller in a Volvo Penta is located inside the water pump. You will need to first remove the water pump to access it.
seems to be a common problem on this vehicle. I have a 2000 Montana and I have had to replace the complete headlamp assembly because there were cracks that let water in the headlight bucket. I have also seen the lens actually pull away from the whole assembly as well. The last time I replaced a headlamp assembly, I made sure I covered the lens to assembly gap with clear silicon, seems to be doing the trick so far.
your headlight is probably full of water
