Headlamp Help Please

Featured Replies

Hey all, my dads 2016 1.2 Fabia Estate has developed a ‘damp’ nearside headlamp. As you can see it’s pretty bad. I don’t see any crack in the lens or split in the upper seal, do these have vent holes that are easily accessible? Any help or suggestions would be very greatfully received! 😋

My mk2 octavia is the same. Reckon its the front lens seal thats gone. On the Octavia you can remove entire unit easily. I took it in to warm house and managed to dry it up carefully in front of fire then used a thin silcone bead around lens. Been ok for a while now. It may be that the rubber covers are loose or missing at rear as well. On the Octavia you remove plastic nut and pull a lever bellow headlight and the unit pops out. Makes bulb changes so much easier.
