How is the best way to combat condensation when de-tango-ing the lights?

They will only have condensation in them if they have water in them.

There is no vacuum in there as there needs to be the hole for the bulb to poke through. Just make sure you do this in a fairly clean environment.

If you are worried then before you put the 2 halves back together, use the heat gun to help get rid of any moisture that could be inside the light cluster.

This is most probably a stupid question, but I assume I need orange bulbs for this?

What's recommended...?

You can get mirrored bulbs, so they don't look like a orange pimple :lol:
Or if they not still available are the bulbs in the back light the same !

Cool...

So, do I need push fit or bayonet?

Don't really want to rip my headlights out and find I have the wrong bulbs...
