Hi has any one had problems with there adaptive headlights steaming up? my car is only 18 months old and the british winter is making the lens on the inside foggy when the dryed out in the sun today i could see water marks.

 

it has happened to me once when it was 20 degrees and I went through a hot wash... went right away. if it continues to happen I would look into getting ti checked out if your under warranty.

 

+1 You should take pictures and be certain your dealer knows about this problem [sees it and writes in in the car / warranty record even if it isn't fixed at this time] while your car is still in warranty.

 

Yes i have still got warranty good idea about getting the dealer to record the damp if it keeps happening the water marks on the inside will only get worse.

 

I had the same problem and have a thread on it here. Theres some pictures of mine just over halfway down. Got the lights replaced under warranty any, the new ones have misted a couple of times ever so slightly when its been really heavy rain but nothing like the old ones did.

 

I had the same problem. I got it replaced just before the warranty expired. You might have to keep bothering them though as the dealers are very hesitant to replace it. But speak to your dealer now as it may need to be recorded for a few visits before they will approve it to get it replaced. I had to come in three times over last year for them to agree. Good luck

 

Turn on the headlights to burn off the moisture.

 

Its not the fact that they get damp but there are water marks starting to appear and the make the lights look dirty on the inside.

 

That doesn't work. Xenons don't burn as hot as halogens and the difference between the hot and cold sides of the lens produces more moisture inside anyway.

 

It works for mine, especially if I use the "flash to pass" halogens to get things heated up a bit faster. The headlights are vented to atmosphere so the moisture can escape with the expanding heated air inside the light. No way to open them up for cleaning.
