Moisture on the Lamps... - Land Rovers Only

Panerai_Pete · 08-26-2008, 07:21 PM

I have noticed that some of my lights, break & head lights etc. Have moisture inside the shell of the lamp? I understand why the driver side has the problem because there is a crack in the seal of the shell, but lately I noticed that the back lights are starting to show moisture on their internal side of their shell.

So my questions is, I have a farily good idea what is causing the problem, but my question for you kind people is, where would you recm'nd that I get some new "seals" for these lights? (As I assume that this is the reason, the leaking seals that is?)

What I am looking for is a place to buy the seals, or maybe a better set of seals?

Thanks

I was told by a rover mechanic that you have to replace the whole headlight, because there is no kind of seal kit. I guess once its apart, its apart.

The rear lower tailights have a seal (I think a little foam thing) and I imagine the rear upper taillights must have a seal, since you can take the lense off.

Maybe try rovers north?

I haven't really looked at it, but what kind of seal is it?

I don't remember, but can you see it from the outside? If not I'd maybe try a different style seal if it's internal. Maybe a foam self-adhering type.

I really can't picture it off hand.
