So my front PS headlamp has had condensation inside the lens for almost a year. It really affects the light output more than I would expect (but it was a lot of condensation). It never seems to go away or even get better regardless of the weather and/or humidity. Before the 80 leaves for a 2 month trip north this Wednesday, I finally broke down and ordered a new headlamp assembly from CDan (arrived Fridy - Thanks!).
So Saturday morning I got on mud and grabbed my FSM and Haynes to figure out how to get the old headlamp assembly out (pretty easy).
But when I went out to the drive to get started, I thought I had goofed and ordered the wrong side b/c the PS was CRYSTAL CLEAR. But I checked the DS and it was fine also. I must say I was stumped - that light hasn't been clear or the condensation even diminished for nearly a year and I know it was fully covered in condensation last week when I ordered the parts from CDan (I went out to check that Iwas ordering the correct side).
Sooooo, I guess it was just the carma of new parts coming from CDan that did the job. I was irritated most of the day yesterday, but decided to put the part on the shelf and check off one more item on my 'to do' list for the cruiser before Wednesday's departure.
