Headlights condensation

[Dee K]

I have bad condensation on drivers side headlight, someone told me you can dry them out and put a seal on the casing, but not sure this is true as if permanently sealed, then won't be able to remove it if needed. Toyota quoting £200 to replace whole unit which seems a bit of a waste as lights working fine and nothing wrong with rest of the part.  Model is 2014 Yaris Icon, any advice will greatly received please.

Remove the bulb and holder and point a hair dryer into the hole on the lowest setting until the condensation clears. Then try to find out why you've condensation in there.

Lights usually has vents , small pipes on the back side that point towards ground and has a rubber boot cover at the end, these may need to be checked and cleaned eventually and nothing else really, condensation on halogen bulbs lights is normal and unless they are full of water just leave them alone and they will dry out themselves. Do not use any silicone or anything else to make them fully water tide and great can cause actually more condensation. 👍

I have this same problem on a recently bought mk1 tsport, both light but on further inspection both rubber seals for headlight bulbs are missing so hoping can dry out as you say above and replace rubber seals behind and all will be ok fingers crossed

Got the same on my Focus. I am going to try this solution on the tube first.

The soapy water method worked well for me
