HEADLAMPS – FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is there condensation in the
headlamps?
• Headlamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure. Condensation can be a
natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp
assembly through the vents, there is a
possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine
mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The fine mist eventually clears
and exits through the vents during
normal operation.
How much condensation is
acceptable?
• The presence of a fine mist, for
example no streaks, drip marks or large
droplets. A fine mist covers less than
50% of the lens.
How long does it take for the
acceptable condensation to clear?
• Clearing time can take as long as 48
hours under dry weather conditions.
How much condensation is
unacceptable?
• A water puddle inside the lamp.
Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
What should I do if unacceptable
condensation is present?
• Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.
Why do my headlamps turn off
when I have them switched on
when I switch my vehicle off?
• The battery saver turns the headlamps
off after a short period of time after you
switch your vehicle off.
