Due to the misting ?
If you are garaging the car then you may find that disappears in time ? also check the back cover is on right + if the car has stood for a while before you bought then try keeping the lights on whenever the car is in use to dry out the moisture :thumbsup:

Unfortunately not, the light doesn't work. The side light is fine so I'm assuming the bulb or ballast has failed

I'd advocate doing some left to right side swapping of ballasts, bulbs and ignitor to see what's broken. Will be way cheaper than a new light which you have very slim chance off picking up a NS, silver inner second hand, unless you can wait and wait...

That's actually damn good advice - should have thought of that!! I take it ballast and igniter are easily identifiable?

Yes but bumper and lights off to get to the ballast

Actually if anyone has a pair then I'd be interested in them too - I appreciate that people are unlikely to split a set
