Headlight Condensation - sheppy1 - 14:th-Nov-2015

Hi all,

Anyone know what causes this? Never seen it before and I've not done any work on the headlights so won't he any sealant issues.

It can happen every now and again when the lights are on in the rain it will clear or should do if it does not clear then you may have a problem

Ahhhh okay! Hadn't drove it for a few hours, got in for a 10 min drive and then noticed it. Gonna be driving another hour or so later so will see if it clears [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] thanks

Its just condensation gathering in the corners or the cold spots it will clear after a good run with the lights on the condensation will be pushed through the vents on the back off the headlights in very damp conditions it will draw some damp air into the headlight this will clear with the lights on given time as the headlight gets hot inside it will push the water vapor out the vents on a dry day if this does not clear and I am sure it will then you have a problem

Ahhh I didn't know they went that far to ensure that kinda thing didn't happen! (putting vents in) it almost cleared anyway with my hour long drive [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] if it doesn't go away then I'll get VX to sort it under warranty as with everything else lol

They will say if it clears within 30 mins it normal

I get this happening on my lights every now and then just after I have washed the car. I put my lights on dipped when driving the next day and as tucpal said it clears
