Davetf Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I've just become a Supre owner and discovered condensation in the headlights. I've been trying to remove the units and finding ways to open them to the atmosphere, but without sucess. Any suggestions please? Thanks Davetf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 The way I sorted mine out was to simply remove the headlight unit and tip out any free flowing water and then put a fan heater on it for about half an hour to get rid of the condensation. I then used a rubber sealant paste and went round the outside of the unit to close up any gaps that were letting in the water. When re-fitting the headlight make sure you push in the bulbs with a nice tight fit. I haven't had any water re-appear for over a year and a half now.

Castle Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Can't be bothered to follow the link but just open your bonnet and take out the bulbs on a nice sunny day....always does the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul -C- Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 I had that problem, so I removed the fog light bulb on a sunny day to let the condensation out. Then I removed all the bulbs and replaced them, making sure they were all in tight. Then I got some black bathroom sealant and ran that over all of the join I could see from the top. Then I made sure the wing was on nice and tight. Never had condensation again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
