Title: Headlight lens fogging
Post by: Bane on April 22, 2020, 01:28:48 pm

Hi all,been a while since I've been here...still got my Edition30 though!
The passenger side headlight is showing signs of fogging but it appears to be on the inside of the glass.
Can the glass be split from the case or am I looking at having to replace the whole unit?
TIA. :happy2:

Yes, it could have a separation. But some have had the problem and say there was no separation. They also state a small silica pkg placed inside them fixed the issue. You could also remove the rubber cap for a bit. If the problem goes away and doesn't return...then likely there is no separation.
