A6 Rear light cluster

[JimC64]

Ok guys.....A6 2.0tdi SE on an 07 plate.
Problem with rear light cluster condensation. This car is washed by hand maybe 2 -4 times a week depending on time available using a wash mitt and then dried by microfibre towels.......kept clean and loved to death.
Rear light clusterpack has shown signs of pretty bad condensation which really takes away from the look....They've now been replaced twice by the dealer ( Stirling Audi - Top class, I'd recommend them to anyone ) and now I've just been in and complained AGAIN as they've went this way once more.

I can't be the only guy out there who has this problem surely????

Got the call from Stirling Audi to call in tomorrow for another set of replacement rear light clusters......This'll be the 3rd replacement set
Kudos to Audi for changing them again, but what a royal PITA!!!

Took mine offthe car and after removing the lamp back, i used a hairdryer to blow though the lens area until the condensation was cleared. then left it in the airing cupboard over night to make sure!
I then used some silicone seal over the small weather seal that sits between the lens unit and the lamp backing which holds the bulbs and then put the two pieces back together. I still get some minor misting on cold days, but this seems to clear on its own now. reasonably happy with the result.
