Question SC 400 rear and head lamps...

I recently replaced my SC's rear left break and reverse bulbs but humidity keeps on appearing inside. Now the same is happening to front lamps. How can I stop these? Rear bulbs are allready gone (replaced 3 weeks ago).
I also need some advice on cleaning or whatever can be made to clear up the plastic covers for the big head lamps. They are blocking much of the light produced by the head lamp.

PR-SC, que' tal, Porta Rock? You can find a tutorial on restoring the headlamps at lexussc400.com, they have an article from the MKIV Supra forums. The process basically involves heating the lamps in your oven so that you can pry the lens away, then cleaning and polishing the plastic and re-sealing. Hope that helps.

Never heard of the rear lights having problems. I don't know if there is a rubber gasket around the back lights. Don't remember last time I changed out last time but, you may want to check the edges around the rear lights. The gasket might be deformed.

maybe you didnt have the bulbs in tight enough
next time maybe double check that the bulbs are in there tight to assure that no water can get into that area at alll
