I have noticed some mist forming inside one of my Hawk rear light clusters. If i don't sought it quickly i may get algi form which will ruin the look of my car.

Anyone know how these clusters are held together and can they be pulled apart then re assembled. Are they glued or screwed ?

Cheers for any info.

glue like the front headlights, they can be put in the oven and after 10 mins pulled apart

Take the light off the car - take out the bulbs - hairdryer blow hot through the bulb holes to get rid of the moisture inside, then check the bulb holders (some may have a foam washer which is knackered letting water in). Sometimes you can re-seal the main light joint from the outside with a thin bead of silicone prior to taking it all apart.

From experience with other cars, taking lights apart and re-gluing does not always solve the problem. This time of year is a nightmare for moisture. Check the bulb seats 1st - you can re-seal them with a smear of Vaseline etc.

Thanks lads. Thats a good idea about the bulb holders as the moisture does seem to be in only one part of the cluster.
