Rob Moch Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 My UK spec offside headlamp has started condensating on the inside. No cracks in glass etc. Any ideas? Any recommendations on oil type as my first oil change is not far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 Take out the headlamp bulb and carefully wedge in a small bag of silica gel as close to the hole as possible. Leave overnight. Oil - Valvoline 5w50 fully synthetic. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughie Posted February 10, 2002 Share Posted February 10, 2002 yep this does seem to be an "undocumented feature" of UK-specs ! my uk-spec offside headlight also mists up sometimes. when it does, it stays fogged up for weeks and then it clears and all is well again. yep Valvoline Synpower comes in 4 ltr cans, and is available from : www.torqueic.com it's very good oil, fully synthetic and not expensive for fully synth at about £16 per can.
