Mist / Condensation in Headlights - muttsnutts - 01-29-2013
So ive had my ST for a few days now and noticed that the lower part of both headlights near the indicator light gets a slight mist, then after driving the car it disapears, Anyone else had this on their ST? Do I take it back to get it checked? The temperature here is around -10 so im thinking the weather? even though none of my vehicles have never done this

It has happen to some other owners of STs:

BTW nice choice in colour. I am thinking about picking up a TS ST once the snow melts.

Actually I found it in the owners manual said about mist due to cold weather I neber heard of it before, Apart from that have been happy with it, but looking at that link got some checking to do
w. We have snow here now but managed to take it out Sunday.(01-29-2013, 01:38 PM)dBlast Wrote: It has happen to some other owners of STs:

There was only one dealer here that had the T Scream which is what I originally wanted. We have snow here now but managed to take it out Sunday.

I've had the condensation in my '12 headlights once before, same area too the front indicator.

Did yours ever come back? Or is it a weather thing

My 2013 SE did the same thing once. Might try to get them replaced under warranty if it keeps happening

Im going to do the same to me its not right . I took it out on Sunday parked it when I came back there it was again, Its been snowing so its still damp here but even so does that mean I cant use my car when its raining or foggy ? Either that or damaged or poor design, What gets me its there then its gone

Haven't seen it since those two cases. I am parked in a garage most times though. If it becomes a more common occurrence, I may bring it up at the dealer.
