Moisture in Rear Light

[corley]

Hi,

I have a lot of moisture in one of my rear lights. I read on here that you can drill a small hole to cure this. Where is the recommended place to drill the hole?

Many thanks
Corley

I doubt putting a hole in it will make much difference. I've tried it and it never helped. You'll just encourage damp air to get it when it's cold and frosty.
Take it out and see if there are any cracks or breaks round the edge. And when you put them back in, only do the nuts up finger tight. Doing them up too tight can cause them to mist up.

I think LOONEY was asking for you to post a picture so he can see the moisture/condensation inside!

Only my tuppence worth, if you do seal up any cracks / seams around edge etc try to get the moisture out first otherwise you'll only be sealing the condensation / damp in.
Lights out, bulbs out and dry them out - seal up and as Senate says finger tight the nuts ( push light gently from outside whilst doing nuts up ).......
