headlights steam up

[veedub1988]

After about two weeks from when i picked my car up from the dealer, the headlights started to steam up and now there is water droplets on the inside of the lense and is getting a bit anoying, is there any thing i can do?

Try searching on the site as it's been discussed many, many, many, many times. Also helps if you ask in the right area though.

Mines does it too, before long your rear lights will aswell

common problem do a search

Time to get the drill out

Another one finds the search facility the hard way!

Surely this is an Mot Failure?

Mine do the same.
At the moment SEAT UK are looking at a modification under warranty on my car.

Car's going in for its 10,000 mile service in 2 weeks when the dealer will have a decision.
After that I'll post on SCN and let you know what happens.

dont think its an MOT fail... well hope not mines passed fine with it though

i think water in the head light is a failure

only if it distorts the beam

would putting a packet of those crystals that you get in new trainers just inside the plactic cover on the back of the lights help?

 

[Guinness]

doubt it

Silica gel?

it sounds like a common thing, i dont think my headlight bulbs will last long tho

good idea really it's designed to remove moisture from the surrounding atmosphere, but i suppose it wouldn't last very long before it became saturated

Thats the the stuff. Just bought a new Laptop and it came with 4 huge packs of the stuff so figured it may be worth a try?
