94 front cornering lights
Does anyone know if the front cornering/fog light unit's come apart? the reason being to find an answer to the condensation that's built up in there, I've not taken the units out yet because if they are one piece there wont be much I can do about it, just have to live with it..

The front sidemarker/cornering lamp is a one-piece unit.
They are simple to remove, but removing the two bulbs should let you apply a hair dryer to clear out condensation.

The seal on the lamp sockets can be replaced to eliminate condensation and dusting issues. They're quite inexpensive. I've never attempted to document them but it's something I might do for some of the more popular ones.
Once you use a blow dryer to remove the condensation you can use some silicone base lube on the socket seal and certainly help the condensation issue you have if it's the socket to lamp seal at fault. If the lens to housing bond is the cause then of course the replacement of the seal or the lube isn't going to help.
The '94 side marker/corning lamp is a very simple removal to allow you to dry them on the bench. The turn/fog lamps require bumper fascia removal.
here's a Delphi document for some of the more popular lamp sockets and parts, it's by no means complete:

I believe that Mouser has a UK distribution point so if there was something that you thought would work you could maybe source them in the UK. Here's a sample of a very popular seal:

For a disassembly for refinish I've always replaced all of the gaskets and seals for the lamp sockets.
