Condensation in headlight
« on: 13 November 2013, 19:09 »
Does anybody else have this problem, is it a case of removing rubber covers at the back and using a hair dryer to dry them out and leave the covers off for a bit? Not noticed it before, thanks.

Don't forget to take the gel packs out to dry them now and again. They can only soak up so much moisture.

Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Update, took rubber seals off the back to let the headlight breathe a little, replaced the rubber seal with a silicone gel pack inside and all the condensation and moisture has gone, thanks people for your input.
