MG MGF Technical - water in mgtf front lights

last week I went in tour by car. Came back home I've seen front lights have "water" inside (I think this was condensed water) especially in the right light (quite entire internal surface is bathed, there was a fog similar effect).

Had you similar problem? do you think I have to change lights or what happened is normal so I have to keep my lights?

hi
cnerone

in that day was raining

I would have thought these lights should be sealed units. Maybe a problem with the surrounding seals, though did you travel from a hot country to somewhere cool? Might have just been water condensing from the air already in the lights?
Leigh Reid

I think so, too

If it is just condensation, I'd leave your car in the sun and remove the headlight bulbs to let the water evaporate. Then cover the lights (to let them cool) before putting the bulbs back in.

HTH,

So you think I not have to substitute my lights?
(I bought my car 15 days ago, so my warranty is on)

I suggest you have a new lamp fitted

If it is just condensation, then this will dry out. Mine gets it occasionally. Wife's Toyota is much worst...!
