Headlight condensation

Post by ori » Mon Dec 28, 2020 4:45 pm

Haven’t driven for a few days and went for a long drive today.
When I parked I noticed a lot of condensation inside the headlight.
Is this normal?

Surely as in the past it's not beyond the whit of man to seal that part, seems what they do is have it open.
Then spiders and dust eventually settle inside, as in my E89 lamps.

Mine is exactly the same, noticed it last week, the first time it's been out in cold damp weather.

Guess it’s normal then when the weather is like this.
My concern is if it will leave streaks on the inside after a while.
We shall see I guess.
