High Level Brake Light with water in it, Cured | |
Being a newbie to the Land Rover world, I'm surprised how cheap genuine spares are.
My new to me FL2 had cracks around the washer jet in the rear light that I didn't pick up on when I collected the car, using the flood washer (it's not a squirter, for sure) it put washer fluid into the light and then dripped inside the car.
I ordered a replacement light and followed the instructions on here, put it all together and tried it out.
It did exactly the same and pumped washer fluid into the light, not a huge amount, but enough
On closer inspection of the old cracked light, the hole where the washer jet nozzle pushes through had the remains of a tiny O-ring.
One small O-ring later and the removal of new light again had it working and dribble free.
If your light has what looks like condensation inside it, your O-ring might have failed too, and it's not the foam body seal that needs replacing or the light itself.
Mine must have been cracked by someone having a go at fixing the leaky issue at some time.
