RE: 204 Disco, Headlamp condensation
Not afraid of drilling holes, afraid of tackling the whole job. Never was a fan of hack jobs, and that conversion thing is exactly that. Unless you completely remove the headlight backing plate and weld on a 2003-2004 style plate. Then it would be a bolt-on job, even though you have to cut into the wires, but that's another $300 for the backing plates and not yet welded on!!!
So I'm still debating this one. Might just turn around and sell them to someone with more guts. Dunno!

You should check out Headlight Restoration Service ( www.hrslights.com ). They helped me with my Disc, and they looked brand new. I hope this helps.

Thank you sir... I will try that. Also, if you don't mind me asking: I have a some significant condensation and since I'm in the northeast (NYC), and we have had some brisk & chilly weather, do you recommend me dry/thaw the unit somehow prior to drilling the holes? Would the unit be okay if I somehow try to dry it? Please advice... cheers!

As spike mentioned earlier, you typically see this during the warmer months. that's when i started getting the issue.
But as I think about this, I don't see a problem with you just going ahead an drilling it now. When you use your lights, the vent/drain holes you drill will do the job. No need to thaw, normal use will take care of your issue after the drilling.
it's supposed to get colder this week you know...

Good stuff! This chilly grip is something else. Also, my globes in my head lamps are both out at the same time: is it due to condensation? Or just a coincidence? My high-beams are operational, my fogs are as well (which I use thoroughly as daytime lights and in night-time driving). I have checked the fuses and they all come out fine-- so no blown fuses, just the globes might have busted? Could you blame condensation???
Please advise... much appreciated!
