~~~***I just took the headlights off, can you tell me where the vents are located? ill be calling another land rover dealer, and contacting land rover tommarow. ***~~~


Yes im back again, still trying to find a good soulution, my land rover dealer said its not coverd as "the lamps are vented", however obvosily theres somthing wroung with them, they fog alot, heres some pics from yesterday (i just gave it a wash and the bumper armoral fadded off). As you can see its very sever, i have tried just hair drying it, and i a few hours the condensation was back. any soulutions?

 

Are you under factory warrenty or a third party?
If under factory warrenty I would go back and make them fix it, if they still say no then I would take out my cell phone and tell them that you are calling the local news.
Third party warrenty wont do s***.
Your vents are clogged, very common problem with those headlights. You need to remove the whole unit and unclog the vents and extend your drain tubes. One guy took his out and baked them in his oven for like 15 mins, I do not recommend that though.
But you do need to remove the headlights and find the clog.
Otherwise take them out and drillfour small holes in each lens, two on top and two on the bottom. Put the holes where they cannot be seen or let rain water just run in.

 

Thisis all to common with those facelift headlights, and one of the reasons have not "facelifted" my disco

 

But how cool would that be to have your headlamps half full of water after the Billing's Rally?

 

lol, at least it would bean excuse for it I suppose

 

take that picture into the dealer... have them reference tsb 86/04/05/NAS... it states that if less then 50 percent of the covered by mist, its not a failure... have them replace it, also, make sure that they let you read the bulletin

 

That's not water, it my blinker fluid leaking!!!

 

If you do end up buying new lights. Be careful of the ones on ebay. I bought a nice looking used set and they both leaked. That was a waste of almost $500. I think the guy was buying warrenty ruturns and then selling them.I ended up getting new lights from the dealer.

I have the same problem. I need to take out the lights, pop 'em open and dry them. Or drill holes. I wouldn't buy new lights.

 

RoverGuy, where do you buy your blinjer fluid? I have looked at AB's site but cannot find it anywhere. LOL
