because your headlights don't actually have any condensation in them? Why do you need someone else's shots?

Maybe he just wants new headlights because they are broken, or he doesn't have. etc.

they had condensation in them but when i went to the dealer it was dried up. you can barley see the dry spots and the service manager said he will replace both headlights if i email him some pictures with the condensation.

The only thing WE can suggest is to take pics when it happens, And show the dealer the proof like you were told.

yeah. they said i need to email them some photos before my warranty expires (which is in soon). was worth a try to get help from some of the members though.

So if your headlights ARE leaking then just pour water all over them.. take it to the car wash or something.. then take the pictures..?

willskip · 02-16-2013, 08:51 PM

did that. drove in the rain. nothing... i guess heavy fog was when it happened. was even thinking bout putting water in myself but dont want to take the risk of the dealer not doing anything. lol

My tail lights fog up, I have pics, but somehow they don't fog EVERY time it rains... So I understand the OP. AND I DO have the water spots in my headlights, but have never actually seen water

Why don't you put water in them then go to the dealer.

kellyefields · 02-17-2013, 02:24 PM

what you need to do is turn your lights on and let them get hot if in a cold area if you are somewhere it is hot put your car out in the sun. then go to a carwash and with the pressure washer aim for the sides of the light, what is happening is when the case heats up it will expand and allow moisture to get in. this is the best way to replicate what is happening.
