Default Brand New Headlights with condensation.

Has anyone seen this issue with a brand new set of headlight? I just got my headlights swapped out under warranty for the paint issue on the 2011 headlights and now my rf headlight gets condensation. Im thinking that the headlight kits they are using to replace the stock ones are not the same quality as the originals

Take it back to the dealer and make sure you get the new 2012 headlights.

Take it back. The sooner the better. I had a problem with my stock lamps and got it covered.

wow yea take that back!

hey did you get them to replace them because of the warped paint by the headlight?? mine are all bubbled and warped inside the housing by the main headlight like the light is too hot and made the paint peel.

Do they replace the headlight because of that issue? If so I want some new ones too!

they should, i think there is a TSB for it and should be covered under warranty.

yes they replaced them because they were blistering under the headlight about the led strip

I went to the dealer today, they are ordering me a new rf headlight. the rubber gasket got pinched when they swapped out the healight which caused it to leak.
