Cooking Front & Rear Lights

Having read a few threads on "opening" front & rear light casings by cooking on a low temperature in the oven it got me thinking.

Can you "Cook" a badly condensated rear light cluster on a low oven to remove the condensation?

Also where is the best place to drill a small hole to avoid a repeat?

Use a hairdryer on the cool setting to clear the condensation

Very timely as im painting my second light as I type .Nonsense 135 degrees for 8 minutes no harm . I hear foglights make a nice starter Laughing

There are a number of drain tubes at rear of light . Might be worth checking to ensure these are clear and not kinked Thumbs Up

Warm with HER hair dryer and at the same time suck the air out with HER vacuum cleaner (box with long tube - if you know how it works) otherwise the moist air inside recondenses.
