Its now perfectly clear, had condensation in it before, but a 30deg day sitting in the sun seems to have wiped it all out.

Is this common or am i just very lucky? Is it coming back next winter?

You may be lucky Steven.
When we bought ours nearly 2 yrs ago, the LH headlight was condensated to da MAX!.........however, since then it has never condensated or leaked again????

Danged if I know, unless the car yard used some ultra hi pressure wash system which forced water into the lamp, which ordinary washing wouldn't do

Our '97 had water appear in the LH light after a (weak) cyclone passed by the island. I'd not seen any condensation before and didn't see it again (but I still pulled the light apart to polish the interior:-)). So pressure may have something to do with it, as Don suggested.

Wash the car, it will fog up again ;D

One thing i have done to mine, which helps quite a bit... drilled 3 small holes in the bottom. Along with a large hole which the previous owner put in the top they seem to drain out quite nicely!

As long as they arent filling up with bucket loads of water the electrics wont be effected!

They stay nice and dry now =D

Check on the back of the lights if the little plastic tube thingy's have fallen off.
