Title: Headlight condensation
Post by: Tornado8 on 19 February 2014, 20:20

The nearside headlamp had some condensation down on the indicator last weekend.It has now cleared up. Has anyone else had this problem and what did they do about it?

I had a tiny amount when I got the car for a few days, then it went away and has not come back since.
Mind you I drive with lights on all the time... don't fancy people crashing into me cos they can't see me.

Mine had it from new it lasted a few days. Left the lights in auto so always on in the daytime (or so it seems) and it cleared up in a few days not
to return.

I was told this was normal. The headlights are vented and leaving them on will dry them out after a bit of time.
