#1: Condensation fix. Author: danhodson, Location: Derby, UKPosted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 4:13 pm ---- Just a little heads up for anyone suffering with condensation in any of their light fittings.
Rather then spend ages removing lights, remove the majority of the water with a hair dryer then pop a few packets of Silica Gel in the unit to soak up the rest of the moisture. It worked a treat for my Crystal headlights.

eventualy the silica-gel gets saturated and looses
it's moisture absorbing function?

As long as the moisture has been soaked up and the seal is well... sealed, the moisture shouldn't return. But if it does, you heat the packets in the oven to 120 and they'll work all over again.

OK, that sounds good to me.

It didn't work for me, the moisture just came back as the temperature returned to that of outside the engine bay.

Turning the lights on worked for me but it often returned over night when the temperature dropped. Just been out to check if its returned and with the gel in there is no sign of moisture at all.
