I just acquired a used Oldsmobile Van - so happy to have it. My Dad just changed out the lights - and I have noticed that there is condensation in them...got any idea why? And will it mess up the lights again? What can I do to keep that from happening? I hate to ask my Dad -He will be up here tomorrow to do something about it....I would like to figure this one out - well - with your help - on my own...
Did he (dad) use new (bought from a shop) lights or lights from another car/van (bought from a wrecker)?
Exactly which lights (headlights, tail lights, indicators) did he change and/or which bit of the lights. globes? whole unit? lenses?
They were bought new, the whole lights - headlights. The old ones had gotten condensation in them too...apparently causing a film on the lens so that they were dim...hard to see at night. They are great now...but since I see the same thing happening - I am wondering if there can be anything to prevent it.
I can live with it...we can change them again if we need to I guess...just thinking and wondering.
Thanks dadpad

@mismi,
OK. I'm in car mode now...(bar mode done for a couple days)
this isn't one of those really goofy looking silhouettes is it???
You are being difficult....THIS is what you think looks like a dustbuster
lay off ma van man. I have seperated kids now...who care if it is ugly - though I think it is bee-yoo-ti-ful.
Nope - My Pappy replaced the lens too...they had scum or something on the inside...I suppose he could have cleaned them...but knowing my Dad...no. He's too old to go to that much trouble.
Din't work apparently it has as much to do with WHO is getting breast enlargement as anything. I guess Oldsmobile Silhouettes just don't do it for most people.
But that was very clever....made me laugh - thank you - love to laugh.
I pay no attention to those things...you mean someone actually follows you around and thumbs down you? Thinking they need to find a new hobby.

@Rockhead,
I had such a setup on a Chevy pickup, and there was moisture forming there as well. I forget the details, thankfully, but it did cause some odd behavior in the signal/parking lights. Honest.
