My passenger side rear light is full of condensation, how easy are the outside clusters to remove on the edition 30, and whats the best way to get rid of the condensation?? Thanks as I havent had chance to have a quick look in the light yet :happy2:

10 minutes sunlight and it goes away. I put silica gel sachets in my car to try to get rid of some of the vapour.

A little bit, you can buy big ones from the pound shop that are huge, my wife says hers worked quite well, (she has cloth seats, I have leather and believe that the cloth helps take some of the moisture)
