You can't, it's just one of those things. I get a tiny bit in mine, but as it warms up it goes.

Is it possible to take the whole indicator unit out and check it's sealed properly?
although i guess if it does it on most 6n's it could be a design fault.

If the condensation is in your headlight, turning them on and leaving them on for a few minutes should clear it. The lights are vented so any condensation should evaporate when they are switched on. Putting the lights on full beam should clear the moisture quicker!

Indicators, yes. Sidelights, that's up for debate!

I will change the lense if its cheap + when I get round to it, but i bet they cost a bomb.

Yep, I plan to try replace the lense of all the lights on the front end, got hold of a brand new indicator unit, pass side, got it very cheap though
(£5.50)
just need the other side and headlights now lol, keeping my eyes peeled, don't fancy getting them thru dealer/rrp price

I've had this on mine, I popped it out and dried it out in the house over night aided by a hairdryer. Popped it back on and I haven't had any condenstation since, if if starts again I will just replace the lense.
