I was washing my car yesterday and noticed that one of my headlights had condensation in it. WTF?!? I thought this was only a problem after opening them up to clear them? Mine are untouched. I checked for a crack but didn't see any.

Could the moisture potentially blow one of my bulbs?

If this could pose a problem, then I'm going to open them up and re-seal them...and clear them in the process!

I think you should bring it back to the dealers and tell them to replace it because that can casue a problem to your HID unit. If you didnt clear them out then it shuld still be under warranty. Cause I cleared mines and it started condensating and both my HID units went out and they were real expensive to replace.

My 02 TL-S does the same thing. Especially when it is real cold like 5-15, and after I do some night driving with lights on, it gets foggy inside the headlight housings.
Didn't really care since my 02 Maxima does it sometimes and did not cause any problems yet.

Wow; I thought that was just me. My 02' does the same thing. I guess I can add it to the list when I see the dealer again.

Ditto here also. I have an 02 TLS. Going to bring it up with the dealer on Friday to see what they say. This appears to be happening to more than a handful of people.

Same thing here, but my warranty is finished I guess i'll take it out in spring or summer and seal it up good.

This is very odd that it would happen with headlights. Quite frequently you see it with people who clear them out or use aftermarket euro tails that are not sealed correctly.

I know mine are stock - I looked yesterday and there does not seem to be anywhere moisture can get in, but everytime the car is washed, forget it, they are cloudy for days.

Went to the dealer for an oil change -- had them check this out. Apparently, just like the fog light issue; they knew of the problem and just replaced the lense. Thank god for acura's warrenty! It seems to crack underneeth the light mount (from what the women was telling me) - She also warned that this WILL cause the light to shatter, especially if I got my car washed or was driving when moisture hit the bulb. So I am sure the 200$ lenses is much better to replace then the 1000$ HID kid.

if u still got warranty...go get it replaced...i have had both my headlights replaced (within 3 months of each other) due to the condensation. Both my ignitors had failed and if i didn't have warranty, they said it would have costs about 1000 to replace.
