Winter prep for lights
I have a little bit of condensation inside some of my rear lights I've noticed which obviously isn't good so I must dry them out. Fairly common I think. Anyway.... My question is I swear I read on here (or elsewhere) a while ago that it's a good idea to give the indicator bulb sockets ect a light spray of WD-40 to keep corrosion away. Would this be a good idea? The weather has been so so wet over this year and heading into another winter the roads that I often travel are more like driving along streams than roads. Neutral WeWillWinπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Heard of that but not ever used it. Was reading up about it on Zag's corrosion prevention guide earlier. WeWillWinπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Steve there are some nice led replacements on ebay £15 each from bolt on bits- they are standard land rover look but led sealed units very good quality and are bright Thumbs Up but as lr90 said ACF50 is quality for displacing water Thumbs Up CSK Automotive
