Plenum shouldn't be a weekly check you know Alan, especially if you have a Jules plenum guard in place

Lol I know but may as well check them while bonnet is open.

Plus I've always done weekly checks just an habit I surpose.
And everyone gets me paranoid about drowned ecu,s

I suppose shining a torch into the driver's side to see if there is any water down there, isn't exactly a huge chore while the bonnet is open .

Of course I'm not too worried about wet ECM's, given how many spares I have

Default Lense

Hi Tony
Have they been stood for any length of time ?
Only asking because mine came from a breaker and did the same but when the moisture dries out the lense cleared and is fine now
Regards
Steve

Hi Steve, they have been in my shed for the last 10 days and it does get cold in there. I'll see how they get on over the next couple of days, if they keep it up then I'll just refit the projectors until I get it sorted

get some dessicant sachets and tape one into the back of each dust cap on your lights. if it still happens you have a bigger problem with the seal , but i'd bet you don't

try this for size Tony
