Technical Headlight and Indicator Condensation???

[XB23]

Hi all,

My ulysse's driver side headlight and indicator light has for some reason just started to steam up and appear full of condensation. Ive tried putting full beam on for a bit to dry them out. It gets rid of a bit of it but then it comes back.

I know its not a serious issue, but Id really like to solve it, anyone know what it could be?

Water!!!!!!

No getting one past you is there lol

I have a similar query for a Punto - but don't see the point in starting my own thread lol

My guess would be a poor seal?

Incidentally, had a similar problem with a camera lens...that was solved with a packet of silica gel in the lens bag lol

I would have to suspect seal either around lens or at rear where bulb goes in, has it been power hosed in the engine bay lately? Couldn't resist the water remark,
Tony

found a simple solution, i just tapped a small pin hole in the top corner of the headlight and its cleared it fine, condenses up a little when the headlight is on and its a cold outside but only very slightly.
