Condensation in Bravo rear light clusters???

[Zeb]

Does anybody know of a good way to deal with this problem? Took the whole unit out last night, took the bulbs out and put it in the airing cupboard overnight which has just served to shift the condensation around. As the unit is sealed (cheers Fiat) the only other way I can see out is replacing the whole cluster.
Any ideas?

Use a hairdryer to blow lots of hot air in.
Then make sure the light unit is properly sealed, you might need to run some silicon sealant arount the edges.

Tie a length of strong cotton to a bag of silica gel crystals, take out a bulb and pop it into your light, leaving some cotton dangling so you can take it out again after a few days. Worked perfectly on my headlights

Cheers for the tips, but I'm not sure if they will work on rear clusters. Can see how the silica would work on headlights, since you can dangle it through the bulb hole, but the rear cluster is sealed between the perspex and the coloured lights, and it's not possible to get at therefore by removing the bulb from the back. Can't even find where the crack might be. Anybody know how much new cluster costs??!!
