Headlight Fogging...



I just got back from the dealership and what I had thought to be just a tire pressure check-up..nothing more, I ended up waiting an hour. Now at first I had figured it was because they were busy (6 people in the waiting lobby)..so I decided to wait. I had gone to my dealership to check my tire pressures. It feels like my car sways back-and-forth sometimes..especially when it's windy. Does our OEM Kit have any affect in this? Well anyways, I waited an hour..and finally, they said that my tire pressure was normal. So I get on my way and just as I got home..I'm reversing into my garage..park it..get out..and notice that my headlights were fogged. Now keep in mind that I haven't touched/modded my headlights (yet). The fogging never occured before, and now..all of a sudden it happens right after I get it back from the dealership.

I don't want to make false accusations so that's why I'm posting it here first. Should I be worried about this fogging? Thanks.

I would definitely call them. Find out what's up with that. You want to make sure they know so if the moisture becomes a problem that your bulbs blow, you don't want to get stuck with buying new bulbs. I'd take it back there if you have time, otherwise call and tell them and schedule an appointment so they can look at it. Just covers your butt in case anything happens.

I have the same problem on my 02 TLS about two months ago. After washing the car, the driver side headlight will get fogged up. I brought in to the dealer and they told me the seal broken and it leaked but instead of replacing the seal, they replaced the whole headlight unit. Not sure if it's cheaper to do that.

Cheers !!!

So the casing is covered under warranty yes? Yes! When I ask them to replace it, I'm gonna ask them to give me the bad cases so I can finally send em' over to
