Misting Headlights?

[St3veM]

Hi Folks,

Anyone had any issues with headlights misting up?

Happens on both sides...





Thx!

Normal, nothing to worry about :-)

It should clear fairly quickly.. the cooling ventilation fans help I think..

Check the rubber type caps over the rear cable entries are intact ?

Run the main beams for a while (not when driving), xenon lights produce much less heat the incandescent bulbs so using the mains will help move the moisture.

On the C8 they are all LED so specific mainbeam unit to turn on and the unit runs very cold. In addition to the misting problem it also means the cover is prone to snow collecting on it as you drive resulting in the light getting less and less effective as you drive and requiring manual clearing. Advancing technology is not always a good thing!! Maybe we will see heated headlight glass in the future

Have you seen the price of a new unit in the popular matrix version?.... £2429.80!

Experienced this in another car. Fantastic bright HID lights. Heavy snow useless!
