    Default Condensation in both LH headlights

    Could *just* a missing plastic surround/shroud cause this ?

    If getting/fitting a new plastic shroud would cure it, wouldn't that keep the moisture in, thats already in there (if it keeps it out).

    Cheers

    The black plastic surround - the bit you remove when you wanna change a headlight bulb.

    okay, that doesn't have anything to do with it at all.

    heat them up with a hair drier for a while to get the moisture to evaporate out the vent tubes or remove the bulb sockets. are the bulb sockets sealing good with the O rings?
