Hi,
I have an old-style Citroen c3 and the headlamps have blown a couple of times over the years. I guess during replacement I must have chewed up the rubber seal, allowing some moisture to get in. I now have a film of condensation on the lens and I am worried this might affect the beam and I am due an MOT very soon.
I've spoken to Citroen dealers and they say I cannot get a new seal; I have to buy a new headlamp for £125+vat. Any ideas where I can get a seal from, other than a scrap yard (I'm already looking into that option).
To make matters worse, it's the side where access is severely limited by the battery. So I am unable to get a hair dryer to blow warm air into it in situ. I can't see that the Haynes book mentions how to remove the whole unit but I imagine it is a PITA job involving removing the bumper.
Any ideas how I can remove the condensation. Someone said to blow air down a pipe but what sort of pipe and what would it be connected to? I don't want to melt the pipe or the hairdryer!
Thanks in advance.
