One of my headlughts is quite badly condensatted and it never clears. Any ideas why? and also how to fix it?

Stick a bag of silica gel behind the screw cap thing it should draw it out ?

My TF suffers from this aswell i thought having the lights on would dry it up but no, i wonder is it a common problem with an easy fix?

You could remove the lens and add clear sealant around the rim but that would mean removing the bumper.

take the rubber cover off the back before doing a run with the lights on , condensation should then evaporate and have a means of escape , refit the rubber cap afterwards

You can't remove the lens on a TF. It is already sealed on.

Oooh! That makes it more difficult doesn't it! Maybe brush some sealant around the seam?
Possibly one of the honey-ish consistency superglues would provide a seal.
I have to reseal the taillights on both of my F's and am thinking I may give this a try.
I had some minor fogging in one headlight after the car sat in the rain for a month but it went away
after driving for a week or so. This may be one advantage to daytime running lights; they get more
heat than lights just run at night.

The TF headlights are designed not to be sealed. However, there is a foam plug that holds water and causes condensation, this can be removed and will usually cure any condensation issues. Note, this is for the TF headlight only

Meg's passenger side headlight fogs whenever the weather is damp - after years of trying different thinsg I have given up and sourced one to swap it over.... sealant, cap off etc didn't stop the water ingress. And it was quite a bit as I coudl take the headlight off and POUR the water out!
