 Description of the problemHeadlights appeared to be leaking, condensation and water droplets. Took to dealer for oil change and advised them of the headlight issue. Was told they were not leaking that the design of headlights caused this, bulbs burn so hot they have a vent for cooling. Because of the air flow through vent it brings in condensation & water droplets can form which can take 2 to 6 hours to clear! Was told that they w/only replace headlight assembly, which costs $900, if its over 50% of the lens. I was told one headlight was over 50% and had water droplets, as well as a halo effect around the bulb that he had never seen before. However, dealer did nothing at the time as the lens was clearing up. I asked about the condensation obscuring the light output and therefore my vision and was told it would not affect it. After reading the other complaints regarding the headlights i feel this may be part of the problem. If the lens is covered inside w/condensation & water droplets, it does affect the light output. I live in the pacific nw where it rains 9 months out of the year and therefore we have moisture in the air all the time! I am now documenting the condensation w/pictures of the headlights every time i drive it... Updated 12/30/14*bf the consumer stated the condensation was in the form of fog. Updated 01/12/15
