Hi All,

This is my first post on here,

Just bought my Skoda Fabia, i've also just put some DRL's and a HID conversion kit on it (8000k theyre white, they look green in the picture, this is the camera), after this i have noticed a lot of condensation build up in the lamps....

Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this?

Many thanks

Could it be that the HID does not heat the headight up as much as a normal bulb ?

I believe it was condensing slightly before the HID went in

HID run a lot cooler than regular bulbs. Could be that it never gets warm enough to evaporate off the condensation. If it only gets slightly warm this would likely create more condensation. Only way to be sure is try a standard bulb back in one side

Okay, thanks

I get this on my Fabia with the DRL's - small output bulbs, cold outside = a slight mist on the inside. Hopefully not a problem in the summer, but the misting is so light that it isn't an issue at the moment.

Hi all,

I need some freindly advice please regarding condensation/misting on my 07 fabia II N/S headlamp unit.

I was doing some work on it at the weekend and had to remove the indicator bulb from the unit for ease of access. At this point I noticed that the rubber seal that clips over the rear of the sidelight bulb was missing. It must have fell off in the last 3 weeks as it was definately there before.

Anyway, I finished what I was doing, popped the indicator bulb back in, job done (this was New Years Eve by the way).

Today, I have noticed quite a lot of condensation in the unit and it seems to be worse behind the indicator part of the unit so, I'm wondering if it because I had the bulb out for an hour or so and this effectively broke the seal for a bit or, it is because the seal is missing behind the sidelight bulb.

Do the rubber seals actually do anything? I had a feel behind the O/S sidelight bulb and it seems fairly well sealed by the bulb assembly but, I guess it isnt there for fun!

I would really appreciate any advise you could give me on the bulb/seal issue and how to resolve it.

Many thanks!
