HEADLAMPS –
TROUBLESHOOTING

HEADLAMPS – FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is there condensation in the
headlamps?

Headlamps have vents to
accommodate normal changes in air
pressure. Condensation can be a
natural by-product of this design.
When moist air enters the lamp
assembly through the vents, there is a
possibility that condensation can
occur when the temperature is cold.
When normal condensation occurs, a
fine mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The fine mist eventually clears
and exits through the vents during
normal operation.

How much condensation is
acceptable?

The presence of a fine mist, for
example no streaks, drip marks or
large droplets. A fine mist covers less
than 50% of the lens.

How long may it take for the
acceptable condensation to be
cleared?

Clearing time may take as long as 48
hours under dry weather conditions.

How much condensation is
unacceptable?

A water puddle inside the lamp.
Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.

What should I do if unacceptable
condensation is present?

Have your vehicle checked as soon as
possible.

Why do my headlamps turn off when I
have them switched on when I switch
my vehicle off?

The battery saver turns the headlamps
off after a short period of time after
you switch your vehicle off.
