Question fogged up headlights

Hi all~
I'm concerned. This happened twice already.
I think my headlights are fvcked up cuz it gets fogged up from inside. I noticed it first time when I washed my car very very thoroughly. noticed a few days ago for a second time when i drove on raining day for about 2 hours. this time more noticable than first time. This CAN'T be normal!
Anyone familiar with this problem?
I've never even "touched" my lights for any knida mods. they're 100% factory. Any advice will be appreciated.

Joe

Take them back to the dealer. they should be under warranty.

EXACTLY!

If you did NOT clear them out then definitely take it back to the dealer. The fogging problems usually occurs after you clear out your headlights.

Yea....take it to the dealer they will either reseal them again or just give u a new one under warranty...in my case, I've opened them and have to reseal them myself should it fog up...but don't have that problem!

i would definitely bring it back to the dealer. sometimes when the lights are not sealed up correctly water vapor can go in, and most likely that what you are experiencing.

just bring it back to the dealer and have them fix it.

had this problem with my infiniti. Back to the dealer, and they put new units in. Its not a common problem on these cars ( a la, Ford is another story), but out of so many, some don't seal right.
