Erm, it's not sealed properly?? That's how almost all moisture gets in..

LOL. You're missing the tip on how to remove it.

Hmmm. I've never had the issue before so I don't know what works best. If this happened to me, I would try taking the lights out and placing them on a dry cloth (to prevent scratches) in the sun with the bulb socket facing up (with bulb removed of course). If that fails, I'd take out the hair dryer and then see if that helps.

As I said, it's just what I would attempt. Don't know if it would even work though.

If its just a bit damp try turning the lights on for a while and maybe the heat generated will get rid of it.

To save time and hassle, if you attempt this method, try to find a way to have the bulb sit in there whilst being on... WHILE... somehow allowing airflow into there.

Otherwise you get a greenhouse effect in there and the water goes nowhere.

Just because you can't see any condensation inside your lights now, doesn't mean that it is completely gone. Temperature and humidity can affect it.

Just letting your know in case you come back another day wanting to say that it has come back.

this sometimes happens with the drivers side headlight. i first happened about 2 years ago and i just took the bulbs out to ventilate it and left the car in the sun for a couple of hours. it recently returned about 3 weeks and is gone again

only really happens after it rains for a while (which at the moment isnt often)

Of course I am agreeing, otherwise I wouldn't have said "if you attempt this method". I was just giving a tip so that the OP doesn't try it only to find out the next day that it didn't fix the problem. Then he has to try it again etc, hence why I said "to save time and hassle".

Can I not give a useful tip (in this case, based off your statement) without it seeming like it's over the top? Personally would you prefer to fix something first time?

      Hi Andrew, just wanted to see if you were able to get this fixed? What was the issue in the end? My car has just started making this same noise (2016 Rav4 - 97000km) and I'm worried. I've had the transmission fluid checked and replaced but the noise is still there.

      05 hiace ecu

      Hi all, new member needing some help with an issue that has me stumped, replacing ignition and had a short somehow. Van would not crank or obviously start, found blown fuse and replaced, now car cranks but won’t start, no check engine light when ignition is first turned on and scan tool will not communicate with ecu. All fuses good except fuse 26 on instrument panel fuse box has no power. almost convinced my ecu is cooked but before outlaying for a new one thought someone may either advise another possible cause or confirm ecu likely the issue, appreciate any advise or experience similar.

      1989 Hilux Low Voltage

      Hey all, recently got a 1989 Hilux with the petrol 22r engine. I had plugged a voltage meter into the 12v socket because I suspected an electrical problem as the battery light had been on. It had read 11.9 volts initially but the more I drive the more it deteriorates, currently sitting at 10.9 (after several hours of driving) when the engine is running. This obviously doesn't charge the battery and it can't start by itself. I have since replaced the battery and yesterday I did the alternator with a brand new one. I've checked all the grounds that I can see but it's still sitting at 10.9 volts and deteriorates over time. I was thinking the voltage regulator is the next best bet? I looked at it visually and it seems fine. Anyone got any other ideas? Note: I had a very long drive the other week and on one occasion the voltage spiked back up to 15+ volts for a short while before going back down to about 11.4 And yeah I'm trying not to drive it too much because I know it's probably damaging the battery being on such low voltage. Any help would be awesome thanks!
