Anyone know how to get rid of condensation in your headlights. I have a mk3 gti and the os headlight is badly condensated even after it has been in the sun all day. If a new headlight is the only option then it looks like mk4 lights will have to be ordered. I would rather clear it and upgrade the bulbs .

try taking the glass off the front if you can mate and getting it out that way, hope this helps.

my one indicator was always doing that. I found out in the end there was a small hole where the screw went though it letting moisture in. I just put some grease around the screw when I put it back in and that seemed to do the trick. I think it's started to mist up again though. a gluegun next time prehaps ;D

cover your light with a thick cloth and put your lights on. that should get rid of it. worked for me

you can use a heat gun to heat the lense (but be carefull not to damage paint on grill/bonnet/wing), but htis wont cure the problem fully as it will come back at some point or another (especially with weather temp change now), you must have a small hole somewhere or a split in the seal between the lense and the case, you could try seperating the 2 and resealing using a strong adhesive sealant, but this can sometimes prove tricky, if the light does look like its had it, go for the mk4 look lamps they juice up the front end of any mk3!!
