After trying to puzzle out why the nearside headlight in our, new to us, 2007 Fiat Ducato ace Airstream M/H is suffering from condensation, dust and deceased 'Daddy Long Legs' flies, I have discovered that the rear cover is missing from the head light.

Thinking that this could be the cause of our woes I have tried to get a replacement only to find that this is not available to buy. I have tried all avenues so wondered if anyone has any idea of a way of overcoming this little difficulty!. Being quite 'long in the tooth' now and not long into motorhoming, it is all a learning curve for us so all ideas will be considered if it means not having to replace the whole headlight!

Have you tried an accident repair center near to you to see if they have a broken lamp, they might give you the cover for a donation to their "tea fund"

I live in the wilds of west Wales so do not have this kind of place readily available although I have tried to 'phone any I can find listed anywhere and I have joined up to several online 'breakers' who offer extensive network searches over the whole country but, so far, with no luck. Even ebay has failed to come up with anything and all the dealers I have approached seem to think it is an impossible ask. My only hope seems to be a 'private' person who might have one 'lying in the shed' from when they replaced a headlight after experiencing the same problem as mine.
