Default Headlight Condensation.. what to say to dealer?

Hey all!

Just got back from the dealer.. told them about the headlight condensation and they installed the ventilation kit.. no problem at all.

But, only 230 miles left on my warranty (36,000 miles) and I have a feeling that it won't do anything... plus, new headlights would be nice

Anything I should say to them to make them replace them? They also look hazy, there is like crap stuck inside them, should I just say they still condensate?

are you losing the clear on the front of them? thats how i got mine replaced and the dealership said since i need one replaced they need to replace the other because they could look different since one is new.

Yes, take it back and tell them the kit didn't work. Insist on new headlights.

Just came back from the dealer.. took about 10 minutes total.

Told them there was dust / dirt in my headlights, they said they can warranty them...!

Their logic was that since there was condensation that it brought it dust, and since you can't clean them there's no way to get it out, thus they had to order new ones.

200 miles left on my 36,000mile warranty and couldn't be happier! What an awesome dealer!
