Condensation in front Xenon headlamps

(1/2) > >>

danishmkvgti:
I know this is a problem but where does it get in??
In the sealing of the front "glass"/plastic?
or from behind?
Any solutions as to how to avoid it.
I changed Left front last winter but now i have it in both fronts  :mad:  :sad1:

if its the oem xenons like on the r32s they have small breather holes so the condensation is normal i mostly get a little condensation after ive washed the car, i asked vw about this when i first got my car, also some other members on the r32oc they all said its normal, hope this helps

.........time of year won't help.

Cooper:
This often happens in mine, I just take the back off the headlamps where you would change them main beam bulbs when I park up and let the warmth off the engine get rid of the condensation and just go and put them back on about 10 minutes later. I usually put the covers on the drivers seat so that I remember to put them back on before I go out in the car again if i forget to go and put them back on!

Gene Hunt:
........top tip. :smiley:
