Just put a new pair of back LEDs on Golf Mk4, they were fine for a few days but since it's been raining they have started steaming up does any one have any ideas on how to stop this?

Thanks

Did you replace your original bulb with these LEDs or did you drill a hole in the lens and add LEDs? If you drilled holes chances are the hole is too big and it is allowing moisture into the lens. If you replaced the bulbs. LEDs put out no heat compared to an incadescent bulb. The heat from the bulbs could have been helping to evaporate the moisture that was getting into the lens before.

They are completely new clusters, with LEDs already in there. Any thoughts?

i guess the struct they are in isnt air tight, and let is some mosister , with the heat of the summer, it made it cloudy. i guess if you wash it out, it should remove all the haze? if its in there, u will need to remove it, it wont revome itself. u will need to find a way to make it air tight so air cant get in there to do that. hmm i could be wrong, i dont know what the encloser looks like, and stuff. Take some pictures maybe? im not sure where u are putting them.
