Head lamp condensation

[spock500]

I thought this maybe of use to other members (although I did see someone post about using a hair dryer before I couldn't find it again)

Both nr side headlamps suffered heavy condensation, the larger one has just been done -

Remove plastic cover from rear of head lamp pod then remove both main full and main beam bulbs taking care not to touch the glass part of the bulb

Take one small hair dryer while the misses has her back turned and direct into the hole for each bulb in turn.

Mine took about 10/15mins for each one, try not to obstruct the flow or put the dryer too close it will overheat and cut out.

Done :bannana:

Keep a look out for more condensation as it may return due to a leaky seal. Normally they don't condense at all so it either has a leaky seal or has been under water.

I am sure it was on here some place, not been on there for a while -

When the weather picks up have a look at taking the lens off for a proper clean, still some lime residue left behind from the water.
