LED slightly misting
« on: March 03, 2011, 02:20:31 pm »
bugger!!
i noticed this as i walked away from the car- i seem to have some slight misting in one of my LED rears.
they were from the fave german guy alot of guys on here have used.

Not to panic....  :signLOL:


I would take the unit off and check the seals (did you dismantle to switch the fog and reverse light?

Then I would bring the unit into the warmth of your house to dry it out -check/re-seal anywhere it has been dismantled put it back on and see how you go.

Mine have misted up a bit from time to time. They have a small vent hole in the lens if you look closely, so I've not been too worried about it.

Now motorway cruising in a 61 Mondeo Titanium X Sport 2.2 TDCi. 500+ miles to a tankful and bucketloads of torque :O Ok, it's not a GTI but it's fun... and that's what counts ;)

Mine does the same, had it off a few times to check it, try and make the seal better but had no luck. But then again, nothing goes right with my car anyway so it doesnt suprise me :sad1:
