With the cooler weather here in the NorthEast, I've noticed quite a bit of condensation in the headlight assembly. I've read where some have had their dealer replace the units without much sucess. I'm guessing that extremely hot lights and the cooler night air is the likely suspect.

I'm taking it that this is fairly normal???Or should I be worried and make an appintment with the dealer

TIA

The only thing I can tell is that I got my 2 headlights replaced as soon as I noticed condensation and that everything is fine since then: no more condensation !!!! If your car is under warranty, I would not hesitate....
