Rear lights solution!!!

[mike-evans]

Guys further to the thread I posted a while back about my rear fog light lamp lighting up on the instrument panel whilst using the brake, reverse and indicating.....I removed both cluster give them a good clean with a wire brush and a GOOD sprying with WD40...problem solved.....until it rains!!!!!

No probs at all with the lights when its fine, when it rains then I get the short/problem

Must be water/moisture getting into the lights when its raining?
Can I put any thing on the light clusters to stop the water/moisture getting at them and causing this prob....like a grease or something which will hold the water off the lights??

Is the foam seal perished? maybe its new light cluster time??

WD40's quite thin - you could try something like white grease or waxoyl (both available in aerosols)
