Headlight condensation

[Alrock31]

Had my car washed over the weekend and just noticed this 🙃
Anyone had this fixed?

There are breather slits behind the headlamp which should clear it. Put the headlamps on also and it should disperse but if it keeps coming back then it may have to be re-sealed.

These are known to leak and especially the pre lci models, we do ton of repairs on these weekly you can visit our page @zworklights DM me there or www.zworklights.com , new lens will be needed and we can reseal them, people out of state ship us headlights.

Found this vid concerning fogging up of headlights, if both lights are only slightly fogged up similarly then it's normal as the guy says at 2:11.
If it's obvious that there's water in a unit then indeed it needs re-sealing before diodes get water damaged.

I had these guys local to me do it.

^ Glad you found someone to do it Alrock.

For the DIY guys there's the second part of that vid of removal and repair of headlight.

Depending on where the crack is you could get away with doing it like this.

also just uncover the headlight access round door in the engine bay, as soon as you drive around it totally clears up... i had severe condensation, and getting an insurance replacement, but in the meantime, I uncovered mine and after one trip down the highway its dry as a bone and has not returned in 2 weeks

I don't think the LED lights as per the OP's pic have any access points as there are no changeable bulbs as per a conventional headlight. I could well be wrong though!

i have the xenon/LED/adaptive, standard covewr over each light in engine bay and underneath is the 3inch or so removable access disc, should be standard on all F10
