There was a bulletin for Omegas that condensation is NOT a fault, unless it doesn't clear within 20mins of use.

Sounds daft, but if thats what GM say, I guess they consider that problem normal/common :(

I've read through the Guide. Might be worth noting (assuming I've got this correct  ::)) that in some cars the plate with the holding pin and central pin are in some cases just held on with a ''hook''. :)

What will cure this is to remove the sidelight bulb and simply let it dangle then run about with your headlights on for awhile as the condensation will evaporate through the hole...plus you can always bung one of those sillica gel bags just inside the rubber bulb cover after.

There is a battery uninstallation needed before any your proposed operations. Which is annoying job, if it has to be done every weekend....

Another proposal to leave one of the opening open for a while, then the next topic will raise - dust in the front light casing.Not a good thing either...

Strange thing is that, I havent experienced something like this during 10 year history of the car maitenance.

My  goal remains the same- to find the cause-how the water/humidity penetrates into the casing.
