Default Headlights... Ahhh!


So Headlight condensation (inside) is really pissing me off.
The dealer has replaced the units 3 times and did the seal thingy, still water on the inside. Im about ready to upgrade to the german xenon headlight assembly.
The dealer has given up and said they wont replace them again.
Anyone have any ideas how to seal up these crappy headlights?

The original fix for the condensation was a vent kit installed within the light assembly but then they started having problems with the plastic lenses getting cloudy not from condensation. I had the problem of the cloudy plastic(not from condensation) but the dealer said they had to do the vent kit first to see if it would fix it, it didn't and they replaced the light assemblies and no more problems. If its condensation on the inside of the light they should have tried the vent kit first. Hope this helps.

Cool Re: Headlights... Ahhh!

Same here, vent kit first....that didn't work, then they replaced both headlights and no more problems since.

I can only speak from my experience. I had my XFire for three years and 26,000 miles. No fogging, no condensation, etc.....however, as soon as I purchased the car I put XPEL on the lights to protect them from rocks, etc., and that may be the reason I never had a problem. I also put the material on the fog lights for the same reason, and had no problems with them either. Here is the address if you want to check it out out.
