Condensation in headlight

[pottle]

Back in August when I first got my car, after give the engine bay and good cleaning I noticed I had a small amount of condensation in the right headlight, just figured it was from the cleaning of the bay. A day in the sun and it was gone.

It’s been raining a lot this week in Maine and I noticed a little more condensation. No visible cracks on the outside and wondering if anyone else has had an issue with water in their headlights?

Please look up my topic (will link later on....on phone atm).
99% sure it is the plastic cover plate at the backside (engine bay). I had to replace on both sides. It has 4 plastic tabs that tend to brake off due to heat and/or vibrition cause multiple cracks in the waterproof cover. Around 10€ at the dealer.
Helped a few in that way and it was fixed after replacing (one of those hidden "service" items apperently :p ).
Ps: s6 c7 here so not sure if other partnumber but let dealer check tye correct one...well first open one to verify...and replace left and right ;) .

This is normal to an extent if there is a temperature difference on the inside of the light vs the outside, a small amount of condensation will form. (Keep in mind that these lights generate a lot of heat) There is a vent tube on each light to help dissipate this, and it should never get to the point where standing water actually collects in the light.

Between 2 A4s an A7 and 2 BMWs my family has had, all of them have done this

I've had that problem too. I've replaced the vent adapters, which I think was the problem on mine. Not making a good connection, so too much condensation builds up. Had to replace a couple of LED modules.

What color is your car? It's beautiful
