[Wanted] L405 early rear light - passenger side

Mine got cracked somewhere along the way & is now filling with condensation. Whilst it works perfectly, it's starting to irritate me.

If anyone has one, please let me know.

Hi

It is probably possible to repair them….. I wouldn’t dream of suggesting how, but when I broke my ‘first’ one some ten years ago and had to shell out for a complete unit, because the plastic had a crack, I had a conversation with a near neighbour. He thought they would be easy to fix, and I urged him to offer the service. He didn’t which doesn’t help you, but long and short was he really thought it would be straightforward removing the cracked glass, and bending in a new piece using heat.

I also seem to recall someone saying drilling a hole allows the water to drip out.

Anyway just a thought Good luck. Bill Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...

My light used to fill with water and therefore condensate. I tried drilling holes but that didn't work for me, what did was putting a blob of black goo on all the screws on the back - this prevented water getting in and so problem solved. My suggestion is therefore stop water getting in not dealing with it after it does. Obviously if its on the front clear goo would be the way to go, maybe even superglue as its got great capillary properties - it's also great at sticking fingers together Rolling with laughter Geoff
