Moisture in the Headlight, Darn !!!

[Bluerauder]

Just got back from a day trip to the north side of Baltimore. After I got back, I noticed a small amount of moisture in the right (passenger) side headlight assembly in the lower corners (shows in about the lower inch of lens). :( Thought that I have been pretty lucky thus far after some 15 months without the problem showing up. Guess I'll be notifying my dealer to have a set waiting for me at my next service in about 1,500 miles. Darn !!!

Mine have been that way since day one. :rolleyes: Usually, it shows up right after I wash her. I'll have 'em replaced one of these days...

Make sure to snap a photo of the problem before asking your dealer for help.
Most dealers require proof nowadays. I had my headlights changed to the 'better' variety and still get the fogging condition.

There is a Techinical Service Bullitin on foggy headlights. They have updated them with a new part #. Insist on replacement, some dealers try to give you a stroke job which is :bs: . Good Luck

What I've noticed is that while washing the car, if I hold the water on the headlight lens areas for awhile, then I'll always get that moisture in there, which can take up to a day or two to clear up. However, I no longer hold the water running on that area for a prolonged length of time, but only long enough to just about rinse the soap off, and I no longer have that problem since it doesn't fog up on me like it used to.
