jim_supra Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Do a search on here matey, you can either refurb/reseal them yourself (there's a few 'how to' guides on here) Get them done by either gzaerojon or Lovatt, both members here. Or you can buy new, see traders section for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrzs Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 hair drier in the bulb socket will dry it out, just to get you through the mot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Prevention is better than a cure..... Don't go out in the rain! Seriously tho, sealing it can't be that difficult. A bit of black silicone sealant and a spare hour should have it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a 94 J Spec TT it might be the actual bulbs where they fit inside the holes in the light, take out each bulb and check that there is a rubber o ring on each one and that is in good condition, if they look ok then try a very thin smear of vasaline around the rubber o ring. make sure you dry them out first with a hair dryer as you might lock the moisture inside. after you have checked the o rings on both bulbs do the same for the fog lights (these have covers on and sit nearest the inner wing) and the sidelights (small bulbs that sit on storks) if you have the standard front bumper you should be able to reach through the hole under the indicator to reach them. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I have this from time to time too. Take the main beam bulb out for a day or two. The engine heat will dry them out naturally. I spent hours with a hairdryer pointed at the back before I thought of doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Thanks one and all, I can't figure out why I didn't think of the easy way out of this problem. Jon sent you an email ref new ones, I may now be able to dry them out but I can't get rid of the foggy appearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
