    Condensation on all lights

    Brand new car and this is happening? I had mentioned it to the dealer and they said they put water all over it and were not able to replicate it. Thoughts?

    this happened on my '14 gli lease a couple years back. it went away after a short time. i wouldn't sweat it unless it gets worse.

    on a separate note, these lights are vented like AudiTech said. I know this because a small spider made my headlight its home for a couple months and drove me nuts... now i gotta take the lense off and clean up the cobwebs...

    did you simply ignore what was said by multiple people and an AZ Moderator in your subwoofer thread?

    this issue has been discussed to death on AZ and a simple search would yield an answer very quickly.

    Normal. The owners manual even says so.

    I don't blame you. I also flipped when this happened to my 2014 when it was 6 months old. I'm shocked that Audi would build a headlight like this (vented), but it is what it is.

    Believe it or not I asked the dealer upon delivery. When they washed the car to give it to me it had condensation on one of the lights. They didnt tell me anything about vented. They took the car into service and "checked it out" but came back saying they were not able to reproduce the issue again lol
