HEADLAMPS – TROUBLESHOOTING
HEADLAMPS – FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS
Why is there condensation in theheadlamps?
Headlamps have vents to accommodatenormal changes in air pressure.Condensation can be a naturalby-product of this design. When moistair enters the lamp assembly throughthe vents, there is a possibility thatcondensation can occur when thetemperature is cold. When normalcondensation occurs, a fine mist canform on the interior of the lens. The finemist eventually clears and exits throughthe vents during normal operation.
How much condensation is acceptable?
The presence of a fine mist, for exampleno streaks, drip marks or large droplets.A fine mist covers less than 50% of thelens.
How long may it take for the acceptablecondensation to be cleared?
Clearing time may take as long as 48hours under dry weather conditions.
How much condensation is unacceptable?
A water puddle inside the lamp. Streaks,drip marks or large droplets present onthe interior of the lens.
What should I do if unacceptablecondensation is present?
Have your vehicle checked as soon aspossible.
