Re: how to fix old lights?

Hi Decsi;

    These red spots are usually caused by corrosion of the reflective layer.
The corrosion is caused by condensation or a leak letting water into the
light. As far as I know, there is no way to repair the coating. When the
corrosion gets bad enough to affect the light pattern, you have to replace
the light. You should find the source of the water and seal it to prevent
further corrosion.
