White stuff inside front foglight

Hi,

Noticed this in my O/S fog light... looks like some sort of gunk/crystallisation or something. I've had a search but couldn't find any reference to it. Any idea what it might be? Fixable or just easier to pop in a new light do you think?

Salt?

Could be that if you've had any condensation issues.

They get so bad eventually they actually push the glass off.
It's really worth getting a new replacement, there was a recent thread where I found some on eBay at reasonable prices.
Les has done a how to which is now in the reference section s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

You dont need to drop the bumper, I partially disconnected the wheel arch liner and pulled it back to gain access from bellow, dont recall even jacking the car. It's a little quicker doing it that way.
