Atrocious Condensation in Headlight Assemblies

Anyone know what would cause this? Just noticed this a couple of mornings ago, and no, it is not on the outside lol. It was humid in the picture so it’s worse, but it stays throughout the day...

 

Do you have LED lamps?

 

Has anyone ever dicked around with the headlights for mods

 

I just put the LED bulbs in the night before this picture, but they have had the condensation for about a week now.

 

Nope. I’ve wanted to retro but I don’t trust myself to reseal properly lol.

 

A couple things:

1-Put your halogen lamps back in, at least temporarily, to dry the fixtures out.

2-Make sure the gaskets for the LED lamps are fitted and match OEM.

 

Step 3 Put LEDs in the trash the light housings are not designed for LEDs

 

Useless comment not pertaining to my original post, thank you for your time.

 

It’s a very useful, considerate comment.

 

He's right, check out this thread's OP. Super helpful, and solid research done to show LED's aren't effective at distance in these projector housings.

As for your condensation, there's only two ways for water to get in. 1. Through the bulb fittings or 2. cracked housings.

 

Solid advice ^^^

 

Uh... How is that answer not pertinent to your question?

 

@baileyjfit if you’re wanting to upgrade your oem low beams, check this thread out. An incredible amount of information. Much cheaper option too.

Edit. My bad, it’s already been mentioned.

 

I had a ton of condensation in my fog lights, license plate lights, and tail lights on my 2018, took it to the dealer and they replaced all of them.

 

You may not like the answer, but it is accurate.

 

I did mention that this occurred before the bulb switch...

 

It would still retain the factory gaskets... Only replaces it if you have to swap out the base adapter. LED or not, it doesn't matter because the LED's lighting performance isn't the cause of the condensation.

 

Did I say it was?

 

I get that you didn’t ask about light output and I’m sure you want that white LED light that apparently is dope, cool or whatever. There are plenty of folks out there with all kinds of mismatched reflectors/projectors and poorly aimed headlights that will give you the finger for complaining about it. I’d say your best bet, if you still have warranty left, is to put the stock bulbs back in and go to your dealer and complain about the condensation.

 

Are you under warranty?
