i have condensation in ns headlight ,can this be fixed or is it new headlight,also self levelling packed up resulting in them shining high,can they be levelled manually,ive checked sensors they seem to be ok,i can here ns motor whirring away but no movement in lights.
                                           thankyou

With having both problems i would be inclined to replace the units them selves, often on here in the parts for sale section.

stick 2x pouches of Silca gel in the headlight that gets misted up and within one week i bet it goes ! just replace the silca packs once every few months

I like that idea

No need to repalce the silica packs....just pop them in the oven for an hour or so after you have finished cooking, even with the oven turned off there will be enough residual heat to dry them out pretty quickly ready to re-use

Should add that the ultimate solution is to remove the lense,  dry the internals (do NOT touch the mirror surfaces) and re-fit the lense with some mastic to seal it well.

As unlucky alf found when doing his lol the silver stuff apparently flakes off very easily!

in less extreme cases (where moisture is in due to heavy handed work with a power washer on the outside of the lamp) simply having the lights on for a long period can help dry out the internals
