We have been getting a lot of rain lately in Florida and I have stumbled on condensation on the inside of the headlights a couple times now. It happens on both headlights.

I just read about the head light cracking thread, do you think this would be covered under CPO also? The last time I noticed it, it was a lot more than this time. The problem is going to be I would have to drive straight to the dealer when it happened I'm guessing.

Don't mind the bugs, I plan to wash today.

 

In the manual it states condensation is normal inside the housing, it happens anytime I wash the car. Do you see visible cracks? I am guessing you don't have an issue but that it is normal.

 

thanks for the reply and info. I don't remember reading it in the manual and this is my second p car (first 911) so I was surprised to see it.

I've had the car a month and it is such an amazing car!

 

Headlights are vented. Park the car in the sun and it should clear itself up.

 

The outer housing is vented. My new one had moisture in both sides after they washed and detailed it Sat when delivered, but my SA said it's ventilated and will dry out when I drive it. Sure enough it was gone when I got home 5 miles away. Club members tell me it's easy to remove for cleaning if ever needed

 

thanks guys. I actually washed and detailed the car today and they didn't fog up at all. again, much appreciate the info.

 

This happens to many other cars as well. Its caused by variances in surface temperature and ambient air in and outside of the lens. You will notice it a lot more in hot as hell climates such as Florida when the sun is beating on the headlights or taillights and then colder water hits and cools the lens quickly. The hot air inside the light will now fog the cooled lens. Some light manufacturers have an excellent anti fogging agent on the inside of the lenses and some are not so great. If it is just a slight fog happening, that will vent out, no worries. If it is so bad its making water droplets inside the headlight, that will be a leak in the seal thats need to be addressed.
