Headlight condensation

Robin_NL · 10-31-2013, 08:50 AM

Both my headlights are suffering from condensation when it's raining like now. The lower parts and corners are covered with about 1/2cms of misty condensation.

I did some research, but that's not the case in my situation(stock suspension, but I find the cause ridiculous)

I still have warranty on it.

I think I should go back to the dealer....

Cheers

Before you go back to your dealer... I would first pull out your brighter AE(angel eye) bulbs(IF you have those). I bet one of your covers is not fully seated. Inside the headlights are some circuit boards - the moister can damage those and then your footwell module and or HID ballast can blow. Its not a cheap repair. So putting your car back to totally stock is important.

Good Luck,
