: Condensation in my Xenon headlight!?

Hi guys noticed this morning that there is condensation in my headlight?
And a quick look and seems like there is a small stress crack in the corner near the washer jet, but can’t be sure it goes all the way through.
I know on the old ones (>2004) it was a totally sealed unit and when one had to be replaced you was best getting both done as they start more blue and fade to white/yellow over time and therefore look odd.

My question……
Can you get a replacement housing/lens without having to replace the whole xexon headlight unit for a 2008 JCW ?
Any Diagrams?
Part Numbers?
Cost?

This should help you on diagrams and part numbers. I'm sure one of the other guys can help as to where to buy.

Thanks bluebeastie, had a look and still confused can you replace just the clear cover or just the plastic moulded lenses and cover unit or is a sealed unit?

Just get some goldfish for it, I had a Seat Arosa once and the headlight made a great aquarium.
