condensation in fog light

Fog light bulb blown, due to condensation or rain in the fog light fitting. When i took the rubber off the back there was an accumalation of water in the rubber ,Does this mean the unit is caput ,or can it be repaired and resealed

. The other fog light is ok .

Gaiter, surely!

Unless it has big snappy jaws in which case the apostrophe rules 'gator!

Check the rubber grommet at the back of the light too andanden... you can use silicone sealent, or insulation tape at a push...

Hi got the fog light working, now i need to take the front lense of due to cr--p on the lense i've taken the clips off sprayed a bit of wd-40 around the area still wont budge so rather than do any damage to the brittle plastic any suggestions please? Andy

Hi andy, is there any sign of a little cutout, or depression in the plastic where it can be pinched or maybe ease a little flat headed screwdriver into, to gently prise off the lens?

bigdaddy no cutout or anything in the plastic. So rather than damage it i decided to take the fitting off the front to get a good look at it. Took the lamp and the lamp holder out and gave the lense a good clean from the back of the fitting.Looks alot better now. Cheers Andy
