they shouldn't do are the bulbs in correct and turned nice and tight
Progress Thread Lewis6317 obsolete - Lewis6317 - 15:th-Nov-2014
Yeah, i did buy new bulbs for them aswell. So they white like my headlights. But i could get them in with the new rubber band around them so i changed the band around.

that will be the problem may be worth taking the bulbs out and checking the fit again
Progress Thread Lewis6317 obsolete - Lewis6317 - 15:th-Nov-2014
I changed the bulbs for brand new one all i done was use the rubbers off your old ones on my new ones...

Progress Thread Lewis6317 obsolete - tucpal - 15:th-Nov-2014
but the new bands are for the new bulbs and the standard bands my not fit correctly in the inserts for the bulbs
in the light unit and you may not be getting a good seal
what bulbs did you use mate
and what wattage are they as they may be getting to hot if this is only happening when the fogs are on
if it is happening with out the lights on then i would look again at the seals
Progress Thread Lewis6317 obsolete - Lewis6317 - 16:th-Nov-2014
Oh right i see, no it happens even when im not using them. So when i go out to car in morning main lights will be fone but the fogs will be steamed up. I will try again with the other seals was really hard though as why i swapped them :-)

Progress Thread Lewis6317 obsolete - tucpal - 16:th-Nov-2014
you will also need to get the moisture out the unit and that will not be easy
the fogs come out with a bit of effort but the indicators are a pig
Progress Thread Lewis6317 obsolete - Rusty2009 - 16:th-Nov-2014
Best off pulling the bumper off take them out remove bulbs and allow the unit to dry indoors by a radiator over night if it's all gone by morning all good if not nick the wife's hairdryer and carefully heat them (don't do what my wife did and hold it one place for too long). keep it moving and get air in through the holes.
Once you've got rid of it put the bulbs back in then refit to the car.

well after a trip to rusty and we done the following
We Changed the lower grill on my new facelift bumper from a grill without chrome to a grill with chrome.
![[Image: 6199428567746b50bdd2ac41ccfd0d74_zps3a9094b3.jpg]](https://i1054.photobucket.com/albums/s497/Lewis6317/6199428567746b50bdd2ac41ccfd0d74_zps3a9094b3.jpg)
looks so much better
While bumper was off change the washer bottle for one with the sensor
Rusty fitted a new mirror module so when I lock car the mirrors fold in, when I unlock car mirrors fold out
Even More Menus - Unit, Coolant Temperature, Relearn Remote Key, Battery Voltage, Timer
So now I have the following;
Information Menu Page - Unit, Remaining Oil Life, Coolant Temperature, Relearn Remote Key, Battery Voltage, Speed Warning
Trip/Fuel Information Page - Trip 1, Trip 2, Fuel Range, Average Fuel Consumption, Instantaneous Fuel Consumption, Average Vehicle Speed, Timer, Speed

Once I get my new MDI I'll turn on the warning package for you, hopefully be able to do it when you go to Bov mate.
What about your new addition to the rear mate

think the old rear looks better without the chrome
but you should get the rear lower spoiler it sets the rear off nice

I do want the lower spoiler for front and rear
