Default PLEASE HELP! 957 Turbo front sidelight fogging

One of the front sidelights located under the headlamp on my 957 turbo is misted up due to condensation, how do I get access to this to remove it please? Ive just spent ages trawling the web but cant find the answer anywhere, don't want to remove the front bumper unless I really have to..
Thanks

Thumbs up

The only way to access it is by removing the front bumper if I'm not mistaken. It's not that hard to do

If you find your light is damaged or cracked, I should have a good used one of these Driver's side lights from my '09 Turbo S as I'm updating to 958 lights on my Misha widebody build. Should be back by the body shop on Monday where I could pick it up.

Let me know.

Make sure you use the correct tools.

If I recal, it might be behind the light washers, and those use 1mm allen screws.

The drivers side is a pain to remove. The passenger side is much easier. You do need to pull the front bumper cover off to access or tilt it down while keeping the washer tubing in place. The headlight washer plumbing gets in the way and I could not remove the washer jets as they seemed to be glued in so I gently pried the old light out and pried the new one back in luckily without breaking anything.

FYI - there were some cheap knockoff lights on Ebay. Under <$50 ea now. I got a pair for mine with the intent to crack them open and upgrade the DRL. They are exact match to the OEM except the part and patent numbers are filed off.
