HEADLAMPS TROUBLESHOOTING

HEADLAMPS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is there condensation in the headlamps?

• Headlamps have vents to accommodate normal changes in air pressure. Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal condensation occurs, a fine mist can form on the interior of the lens. The fine mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during normal operation.

How much condensation is acceptable?

• The presence of a fine mist, for example, no streaks, drip marks or large droplets. A fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.

How long does it take for the acceptable condensation to clear?

• Clearing time can take as long as 48 hours under dry weather conditions.

How much condensation is unacceptable?

• A water puddle inside the lamp. Streaks, drip marks or large droplets are present on the interior of the lens.

What should I do if unacceptable condensation is present?

• Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.

Why do my headlamps turn off when I have them switched on when I switch my vehicle off?

• The battery saver turns the headlamps off after a short period after you switch your vehicle off.
