Default Condensation In Headlight

Anyone experience this? Did you cut a small hole in the light to let the condensation out and if so did it clear up the problem?

If u cut the piece, you will always have the condensation. It should go away soon. There is a fix, search for " o ring fix".

Just take the turn signal bulb out and use compressed air to blow the condensation out, thats the factory fix.

I was told by the dealership to cut holes in so that the condensation that is in there hasa place to escape. It kind of seemed backward but I have heard of some people doing that.

I just tried that search and I'm coming up with everything except a headlight thread. Got a link?

awesome. i was alsohaving the same problem. i took it to an audi dealer and they toldme that it was common.
i said "other cars costing half as much doesnt have this issue".in return,they gave me a handout about the condensation...whoopee!

its just kinda annoying that it fogs up like that and i feel like everyone else driving opposite of me is saying something about it.

anyways...thanks for finding that thread. im gonna give this a try too!
