   Hi guys n girls. Just wanted to ask you all to see whether or not any of you are experiencing a build up of moisture within the confines of your rear light clusters.
   
   Is this anything to be overly concerned about and if I do decide to remove it, what do you suggest? hair drier perhaps? I`d like to know what`s causing it in the first place and then can at least try to stop it from happening in the future.
   
   Am I also correct in thinking that the way in which you move the light clusters themselves would be to undo the black wing nut type nut that is visible from inside the boot area?

   Second hand light clusters are pretty cheap, it's not worth mucking around trying to fix them IMO.

   There is a rubber seal around the light - water gets in if not sealed properly / not tightened up enough. (don't snap your plastic bolts please)
