Noz Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Looking good mate. I was spun out looking at that throttle body then remembered its a GTE oooops! Easiest way to get water out your lights is removed the clear bung on the top while they are on and your driving (not when its raining) and/or remove the main beam bulb this will also help air circulate. I get problems all the time with this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
