I've just noticed that my nearside headlight is full of condensation

What is the best way to remove it I've read the How To Guide on removinge the headlight.

Advice appreciated

When you say 'full' do you mean there is standing water in the body of the lamp or just that there is a lot of condensation on the inside of the lens?

If it's just on the inside of the lens, then a fairly simple way to get rid of it is to place a bag of silica gel dessicant inside, making sure it's not too close to the main lamps, leave it in for 24 hours, take it out, bung it in the oven to dry it out then repeat until no more condensation.

Of course you will want to investigate where the moisture is coming from in the first place to cause the condensation.

Cheers Jon, yes it is just condensation on the lens, but I can't se where it is coming from. I will try the silica gel route
