Condensation in Front Light

[nathanc1009]

Hi, I'm having a problem where there is a lot of condensation in the front bulb, I took it to Halfords and they said they can't touch it and they don't think anyone else will either, he recommended this forum to see if any of you guys knew what to do, I'll attach a photo to show my problem. Thanks. Nathan

I've had various cars with differing levels of condensation within the headlight assembly. They are rarely completely sealed units, and with the mixture of rainy and sunny days in the NE, the problem is exacerbated. Also, longer daylight hours means that the main lights aren't used so often, so there's no heat from the lamps to evaporate the moisture.

Obviously, take a good look around the headlight unit to make sure it isn't cracked and allowing water to enter, but personally I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Try putting the headlights on every time you drive, to see if that clears the problem.

i would remove a bulb and let the headlight dry out

check the rubber boot on the back of the light and make sure

it is fitted correctly and it has no tears or splits in it.

As above but use a hairdryer...

Cheers guys, I'm not entirely sure on how to remove the main bulb, but I drove to Liverpool last night and with the lights on seemed to dry it out a little
