Hi guys its going to be headlight day tomorrow :mrgreen:

The delamination part is ok because thiers plenty of info on here about that but I have a condensation problem see pic.
I have tried to search but coul only find this
search.php?keywords=headlight+condensat ... mit=Search

I swear I have read something else on here about it but I cannot find the thread.
Can anyone tell me a good place to start on fixing the condensation I take it a seal has gone somewhere, would I be best to pull out the headlight and check for a break in the seal or is thier somthing else I should be looking for?
Thanks

Also im having some trouble removing the headlight I have taken out the two 10mm bolts that hold it in but thier doesant seem to be enough room to pull out the headlight.
Any ideas?

yip bar off and then I would suggest removing bulbs and letting it sit in sun until it clears. If problem comes back try drilling a small hole in rear of unit to help with breathing

My foggies and indicators used to fog up a fair bit. I took the front bar off to get to them and simply drilled two very small holes in the back. This will allow them to breathe properly and over the next week or so they should clear up. They may still fog up occasionally when you get sudden changes in temperature, but should clear up within a day or two and won't be as bad as they previously were.
