Anyone on here cured this problem... All of my xenons on the roof have had condensation behind the lens... I've taken them off and using a hair dryer dried them out ... Before replacing them I've used silicone sealant around the outer rim to seal them further thinking it may have been caused by water ingress around the edges. Looked great until came out this morning and all of them have slight condensation behind them again despite them being fully dried out and no rain overnight...
I can only imagine that it is condensation from the atmosphere chilling on the inside of the lamps. I don't want to seal the bulbs because of heat issues but am just wondering if anyone has had similar issues and how they cured the issue ?
Thanks
