Hi,

Our 360 developed condensation on the inside of the offside rear lamp pretty much as soon as we got it but I thought it was just that.

Today I just got it back from the garage after a hefty £700 bill for a service, couple of tyres and all new brakes and noticed that it wasn't working properly. I removed the lamp and noticed its got black cr@p at the bottom from stagnant water and about an inch of water sat at the bottom.

I emptied the water out but I can't get inside the clear the lense.. its glued and water was all over the circuit board for lower part of the lights.... a couple of the led's fell off too so I reckon its toast.

Is it possible to get the outer casing off the lamp to get inside and clean the lamp?

I've looked on eBay and a new lens is about £60 but not sure if it comes with the board to replace it... and worried the seal will be as bad as this one.

Probably not worth messing with?. Try dismantlers for complete unit.
