Condensation on inside of headlamp fitting query

[daithi]

Hi all,

Condensation has appeared on the inside of one of the front headlamp fitting-the one on the drivers side ....I had a small tip in the car 8-9 months ago and i'm wondering if the two events are related.. also, how would I go about getting this sorted??

Thanks in advance,

It seems to happen a lot on the VW / Skoda range on the cars with the clear lenses. You may have a small crack or broken seal from your accident but these are generally sealed units. Condensation normally clears if the lights are on for a long time - the heat clears it. Alternatively just remove bulb and holder and use hair dryer. Make sure the rubber boot at back of lamp is back in place and secure as this could also cause moisture build up if poorly fitted or missing.
