Broken tail light?

Post by Joz »

Yeah.. My tail light seem to have cracks or something, as they often get condense inside of them when I'm washing it for example.

Any tips?

Take the light off and remove the bulb holder.

You will will a seal around the edge.

Either remove this and turn around or replace.

No more steamed up rear light :mrgreen:

But, what if there is some small cracks in the glass? ( Or plastic, whatever xD )

Had the same problem,take off the lamp,clean and dry it,then apply a small strip of Sellotape from end to end,good quality tape can't be seen and seals just fine,not had to replace mine since done 6 months age...
