    Hello,

    I am seeing condensation in my MK7 GTD headlight unit. I am aware this shouldn't be here.

    I have never changed any bulbs or accessed this. Is this a dealership issue as it is currently under warranty? Or is there a quick fix I can do myself.

    Thanks in advance.

    It is quite normal, it will be refused warranty. This TPI is too old for the Golf 7 but the updated version will cover the same ground.

    Remove the rear bulb cover and stick a small bag of silica gel to the cover and then replace. Absorbs all the moisture and I've never had a problem
