Water in fog light - Best way to remove?

[darkbluesheep]

Hi Guys,

Noticed about 1cm of water in one of my fog lights. Whats the best thing to do, remove the water and try find the leak where the water is getting in and patch it up, or just replace the fog light all together?

Is it a bumper off job to remove the fog light?

Cheers

Smash it.

The water will drip right out.

Wheel off.. Arch liner out and remove. Or if you have tiny little hands and fingers on the bottom of the arch liner there is a flap for changing bulbs.

you could heat a tiny pin up with a lighter and pop it through the lens at the lowest level of the water so it runs out . then any further water in their will run straight out.. bit of a bodge but you wont even be able to see it.. i did it to a mates van at work for him and its never had water in again..

It's really not. Carbonraider has got it right.

ah ok cool thanks for confirming, i will take a look over the weekend. think its worth trying to fix the leak or just replacing the fog light?

Drill a tiny hole in the bottom of the lamp. All the water will come out and you won't get any more build up of water.

A lot simpler with the PH1's, just a case of unscrewing the whole fog light surround and out they pop.
