condensation in headlight
« on: 24 January 2009, 13:24 »
I've noticed over the last few days of condensation in one of my headlamps. Hadn't washed the car so no water could get in that way. Is the only way to replace the lamp?

I'm not going to spend £250 on some lights unfortunately. Probably pick up a set from a breakers and try Joey them.

Has the rubber cover come away from the back of the headlamp?

If the cap had come loose then stick the lamp in the oven for a couple of hours as low as possible temp wise to dry it out
