Can anyone advise on how to remove condensation from the headlights of an 04 Db9?
I have purchased some pouches of silica gel and I was thinking of taping a pouch to each of the rubber lamp covers in the wheel arch, would this be safe?
Cheers

They would simply soak up moisture from the air.

Check your light fittings for a couple of breather tubes and a small filter.

On early lights they had two breathers that allowed air through the light unit, unsure if the DB9 retained this but I don't see why they would remove it.

Usual faults are a blocked or kinked tube or a faulty filter (similar to an old inline fuel filter)

Hope this helps

Ok, thanks for that.
Where are the breathers located? Don't suppose anyone has any diagrams I could nosey at?
Is it a inner wheel arch off job?

Driving around with the headlights on will dry them out.
