    Ellipsoid glass gone milky

    One of my ellipsoid glass's has gone milky, is there any way of sorting this out or is it time to get a new lens?

    If it is like what has happened to mine in the past just take off the lense and clean the inside with glass cleaner.

      or put the glass lens through the dishwasher with rinse aid - works perfectly

        It's caused by a build up condensation Pete
        Poor sealing strips and all the rain we are having recently will cause this !

        New seals no milky !
        I used to get this on my old E36 BMW as they are notorious for that.
        For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2

          This light is brand new tho. Its just been in a box for ages.

          I will try some of these methods. I only noticed it when I got the lights out the box to build the car up after a respray.

            Mine was out-of-the-box new also and had this problem. Weird.
