 Misting headlamp - BobbyG
One of my Altea headlamps has misting and condensation on the inside.

Only myself to blame, I think it was a result of washing the car on Sunday with a bucket of tap hot water and also realising that after I last changed a bulb, the seal at the back of the unit wasn't air tight.

Whats the best way to deal with this - would it help to take all the bulb fittings out the back and then aim a hairdryer into the light? Headlamp unit of course is made of plastic so I guess I wouldn't want hairdryer on full heat?

Either way I would think that if I do get the moisture evaporated off somehow I am still going to be left with condensation streaks on the inside of the plastic?

Thoughts?
