I'd like to solve mine aswell, my drivers sidee is exactly the same as yours but my otherside is perfect

I think it's suppose to be a common on these lights tho:(

a pic really isnt needed to show us what condensation looks like, especially as its bigger than house rules allow..

maybe check your seals/plugs?

mine was quite bad took it out and dried it out with the g/fs hairdryer then did all the seals with washing up liquid and its never condensed up again................

Its the gray cover that aint on right.I had to move mine a few times until it was sealed all the way round.Put cover on properly and then leave lights on or go for a long drive at night and it will slowly dry up.Mine took bout 4 days to clear up after i knew the cap was on right.

Dont let em fob you off by not replacing it, they will tell you to leave lights on for 40mins to see if it goes away just tell em uve done that already and the condensation was still there

went to vx they said the headllight unit is under warrenty, they'll look at it and do tests on it and if it's a problem with them then they will change them for free but if they just look at them and find that theres nothing wrong with them then they'll charge me £25 just to look at them........
there so dumb cus clearly you can see the condensation in them
