I noticed condensation in my passenger headlight unit and xenon is out. Any idea how the dealership will handle the issue? replace entire headlight unit? fix it?
Anyone in NJ/NY that can fix it?

Thanx

 

if you're still underwarranty take it to the dealership.

 

Had the same issue but my dealership did nothing. It was already 6 years into ownership so I used it as an excuse to upgrade to the new 2012 headlights. Track down a headlight retrofitting shop and they can possibly take it out, disassemble it and dry it, and seal it again with new sealant. It's important to also make sure you have a good seal if you're running an aftermarket HID kit (this is the cause of the condensation in my old lights).

 

hmm, that can most likely be one of the gaskets in the back or a crack. if you want you can bring it to me and I can silicone it for you, I have a whole headlight for parts here.

 

Remove the headlight and let it sit in the sun for a few hours

 

Don't even need to remove it, just take off all the caps let the car sit in the sun for a couple of hours pop the caps back on and that should solve the problem. If the condensation does come back then you either have a bad gasket or leak on the housing.

 

I had this issue with my TSB lights, one of the covers behind the brights was not installed correctly. I washed my car and guess what, condensation like crazy. I tried the drying method for 2 straight days I let the sun and used a blow dryer and the next morning it was back. So, I called up my service adviser and he replaced the headlight for me at no charge (under warranty of course). I would suggest contacting a dealership if the headlight/car is under warranty.
