Minor problem. One of the headlight clusters on my Facelift seems to be getting a layer of condensation on the inside at the moment, the other one is starting to go that way.

Does anyone have any cheap/easy fixes? Or is this another common Omega thing to live with?

I don't know if its a poor seal at the back, there isn't any damage at the front.

My Fog Light did this and I ignored it.

Then it completey corroded and stopped working. I can't offer advice on sorting it as I left it too late and had to get a replacment but all I can advise it not to leave it.

Sounds like pretty good advice though. Can't imagine that the headlight clusters are cheap, even from a scrappy. Hopefully someone will come up with an easy fix as I didn't even think about it rusting up.

I thought I might try to take out the sidelight bulb and leave the headlights on to evaporate the water out. Does this sound like it'll work?

.... :-/ i recently discovered the wifes hairdryer has another use.....can you guess what?

I'll have to be sneaky about using the hair drier. I think the plan will be:

Remove fuse from hair drier plug.
Wait for complaint that its not working.
Offer to fix it.
Replace fuse.
Dry out Omega headlight cluster.
Replace Hair drier and declare that its now fixed.


If caught in the act, I'll claim to be "testing" it after a very complicated repair!
