Title: Condensation in headlight
Post by: Rgdogg 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.

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.

Just purchased a MK6 GTI and there was a slight condensation in left lamp, but with this little treasure of a thread, now resolved :)
