As the title really, I've got a little bit in the drivers side and want to sort it, shall I just turn the lights on wait till it's all hot then take the rear cover off to vent it? And put it back on a couple of minutes later with the lights still on.....

Yeah must admit, touch wood I don't suffer even with HIDs, but it seems to be a common fault with seat. As a mate of mine had trouble with his mk5 they got seat to change the light units yet now the passenger side unit is still condensing

My headlights have always been shite. I had a replacement under warranty and it came back. I sorted it by putting a vent in the top of the bulb cover using aquarium pipe and elbows. Cost about £3.50 in bits from fleabay. Works a dream
