One of my front headlights has water sitting in it...is there a way to take the lense off so i can get the water out and clean the inside of the lense from the condensation???
thanks for any replies

Get under the truck and locate the black plastic drain hose, then clean it oot and the light will drain.

There's no drain in your head light. Take it out and remove the bulbs. drain the water out and if you have compressed air, blow it out. There's a rubber boot covering the headlamp bulb. Make sure that is sealing right. Also make sure your driving lamp (small bulb) is sealed.

On my 03 Disco i took it to the dealers becuae it had condensation in the front Left headlight and they replaced it under warranty. Typically they said it will burn off but there has to be a bad seal in the first place for water to get in there so.......

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the 99 1/2 to 2002 didn't have that water in the headlight problem...... So if I'm right, what's that interest in changing from the trouble free headlight style to the problem prone style!!!!!

It's not like those vehicles are trouble free!!!! Why purposely install a device that is know to fail????

I know I'm off subject, but just trying to understand that thing I keep reading about modifying a 99 1/2 to 2002 for the 2003 headlight style. I'd understand if it actually was an upgrade, but on top of taking water, I red that it also doesn't light up as much... Whatever....
