« 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.

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