Can anyone tell me how to get into the Main headlights on the Bolero. We keep getting a lot of ? condensation in the off-side and can't fathom out how to remove the plastic cover.:Sad:
Don't want to force and break ???

Consensus is that it is normal. Will dry out when used or in sunlight. Seems that most are like that?

I have not had condensation here but I have heard of others with the same experience who were trying to sort out the damp.... cannot remember reading the whole thread but I think there was a solution on MHF somewhere.

you need to take the top corner cover off ( 2 screws inside edge of bonnet and the plastic cover under the headlamp ( 1 screw insde edge of bonnet ) careful when pulling both of these off they have plastic clips which are a bit stubborn and can break off.

you will then see the screws that hold the headlamp housing in place.

i would as has been suggested, remove a rubber cap at the back of the light and the buld then hairdryer, then make sure you have a decent seal when you refit the rubber caps.

the plastic front on the headlamps "appears to be simply clipped " in place with a seal under it. not sure i would risk messing with that could be expensive mistake.

could try the good old sealing mastic ( neat small amount ) around the join of glass and body then use the hairdryer etc.

i think the plastic 'glass' and lamp body are bonded/welded and arent seperable.

as said, once the lights are on they will burn off any condensation
