Condensation in Rear Light

Hi

I am experiencing a small amount of condense in the offside rear light cluster - is it just from moisture trapped the last time a bulb was replaced or is this a common issue of a perished seal?

Is it fairly easy to remove the light cluster?

Thanks

Simon

It's a common issue on the earlier cars, mine has it too each time I wash it.

If your car is under warranty you cna get them replaced, there is no fix, you can't really dismantle them.

Removal is fairly easy:

So just so I understand you fully, it's a fault with the light cluster and a new one would sort the issue?

My 03 had this on the OS light.After years of putting up with it I drilled a tiny hole in each bottom corner.SORTED FOREVER!! If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.

That is what I am concerned about, buying a new one and it doing the same!

Do you know what causes the issue - is it just bad design?

bad design, if you find a light cluster that doesn't do it then thats the exception. The P38's were even worse. Save your money and buy a tiny drill bit!

Thanks all, seeing as I was thinking about buying a new one, I'll try drilling a hole first and see if that works
