Oman 2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Vesuvius Orange
Condensation in the Headlights

Well not impressed with Land Rover in Oman. As a result of my drive through deep water after the recent floods both headlights and the auxillary light pods have large amounts of condensation in them...

I asked LR to resolve this, their answer install all new lights!!! Despite the fact all lights still work!!!

So the question is what is the best way to remove the condensation?

I was thinking of remove bulbs and blow hot air in so that is dries out. Somebody else suggested placing those moisture absorbent crystals...

What would you guys recommend?

Thanks in advance!!
