Condensation in headlight

[valk0v]

Hello! What could be causing moisture/condensation inside the headlight?

That happens only on right headlight and is almost constant thing - no rain, no car wash but the condensation is still there. Not sure if this thing happens in the summer since the car has been with me for 2 months now. Also could this condensation leads to malfunction on the headlight and what measures I should take?

I searched for previous posts with similar problem but I couldn’t find any so excuse me if does in fact you guys have commented on such a topic.

Somehow water got inside the headlight. I don't know what kind of headlight you have but if it has a bulb what I would do is remove the bulb and allow the moisture to dry out.

this is full LED one on a non-US model but the blinker and the actual drl is a normal bulb that can be removed ( to fully dry on a hot day) if I recall


op, is it the original assembly or a replacement?
has the car had any dmg in that area?

I dont think its common for those to have moisture issues, at least I havent heard. There is a gap that lets air in somewhere.

The LED projector headlight is the DRL.

And I'm pretty sure these headlights are sealed, which is why they are so expensive to replace. You have to change the whole unit. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I've come to understand.

No it is not the same drl. Outside of US.

Does it say something line "stanley" and some letters and numbers after on the headlight? stamp

There isnt a lot to do except may try to find where is the gap and seal it if possible
