FL Led headlight condensation

Featured Replies

Thanks for that. Very helpful!

My 2015 Scout premium with the excellent adaptive, steering HID headlights has had no moiisture problems in the headlights even when covered in snow.  

Then, two weeks ago on a long drive in very wet contitions I had a LH DRL error while driving.  Upon inspection the light had large droplets of water all over the inside of the lens.

Like others I parked the car in the sun with the covers off  the next day  and dried the unit out but the DRL no longer works.

Seems like water being forced into the unit via failed seals at speed ( 105 km/hr ) fin heavy rain for over 4 hours. 

I will remove the unit ( which requires the removal of the wheel arches and nose cone - quite a fiddle but not hard ) and see if I can see any obvious corrosion next weekend.

Can the lens be unclipped and be resealed?  

Can the LED DRL be replaced separately? 

It would be a waste, not to mention the cost, to  have to replace the whole light assembly with the Adaptive mechanism for the sake of the LED  DRL strip and a headlight seal.
