Model Year 23/24 Looking for help – Headlight moisture issue (Formentor)

Hey everyone, new here — looking for a bit of help.


I’ve got a Cupra Formentor and recently noticed that my right front headlight is fogging up badly — not just condensation, but actual water droplets forming inside. It looks like dozens of tiny drops.


Before I take it in or try sealing it, I’d like to try drying it out myself.


On my previous car (a Škoda Octavia), there was a small plastic cover on the back of the headlight that I could remove. It let me blow warm air inside using a hairdryer, and that completely solved the problem.


I tried to find something similar on the Formentor — like a removable cap or breather valve — but no luck so far. I can't find any obvious access point that would allow me to get warm air inside the headlight.


Has anyone here dealt with this before? Is there a hidden breather plug or cap I’m missing?
Any tips would be much appreciated!

If it's under warranty I'd get a new headlight.

If it's not under warranty I'd just put a hairdryer on it. I had this problem in a DRL on a previous car and using a hairdryer sorted it out really well.
