Moisture in FTO Headlight?

Post by Danielk »

Hey guys

Just had a look at one of my headlights, there seems to be moisture on the inside on my drivers side headlight.

What's the best way to remove it?

Thanks

take the bulbs out and leave in sunfor a few hours should do the trick ;)

if it keeps happening may need to drill a breather hole but only as last resort

yep the breather hole works a treat.

You can also bake the lights and reseal.

bake to open them up. stick a packed of those silicon things you find in shoe boxes in, and that should do the trick as well ;)
