Condensation in headlamp
Hi chaps
Have found condensation in my front xenon headlamps. Especially near the led indicator and the top eyebrow and also at the bottom. Anyone had experience of this and is it something that can be done under warranty. Something tells me a new rubber seal is needed as well which may have let water inside in the first place. Thanks Sp123

Manufacturers often say that small amounts of condensation which disappear after a while is normal. There should be no liquid water in the bottom of the headlamp, though. I'd see what the dealer says but be ready to be forceful.
