Headlight Condensation
#1
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

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 if it doesn't go away then I'll get VX to sort it under warranty as with everything else lol
