Water vapor in headlights
Last weekend, I went out for a drive after I had washed my car and turned the lights on as it was getting dark. When I got home, I realized that water vapor had formed on the inside of the left headlamp assembly. I took it in to the shop today and complained about it. They did a test on my car: Wet the whole front end thoroughly and turned the lights on for a few minutes. Sure enough, the same thing happened. Only this time, the right side was misty too! No questions asked, they're replacing both Bi-xenon headlamp assembly free of charge! (Can you believe, those lamps cost 1500 bucks a piece! ) Anyway, you guys should run this simple test too. Maybe it's happening more than we know, like the trunk lid brake light that keeps cracking! Truth is, I'm a little disappointed at the quality of our cars

same thing happened to me after a car wash (on the drivers side light) but i do not have the xenon lights do you think the dealer can still help out or is it just a problem related to xenon equipped cars?
