Good Idea for our Headlights.

[GTRClive]

Just after I have washed my car in the winter, and when driving in the rain the headlights tend to mist up. I have put vent holes etc in them but what it realy needs is airflow across them.
Then while looking for some parts for my Vette I found this :- www.ecklers.com/product.asp?pf%5Fid=39543&dept%5Fid=1476&mscssid=9QWL0A6PSJLJ9JW61UC3NXFS66839F0B


What a great Idea a small fan. Even a small PC fan might do the trick when properly protected from the rain.

Have fun.

The fan to use would be the very small fans fitted to the processor chip on some PCs.

The downside of fitting a fan would be introducing dust so we may have to fit something like coffee filter paper to the fan.

Sounds like a distracting little project.

Must get on with the main build, how long can I put off having to stick the alcantara on the dash?

Picked up some freebee fans from the local computer repair shop.
40mm square housing X 10mm deep with a fan diameter about 37mm.
12V DC 0.09A
Powerfull little beggers, have to make sure they don't point downward in case they lift the nose.

Could we put some on the rear to promote some downforce then ? might counter some of the other threads probs.....

I could use two of the small fans: one on the speedometer and one on the tachometer. They mist on cold rainy mornings when the hotel garage is not heated.
