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:
link to some common problems to look out for in a focus ST
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
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 had both headlights on my 07 ZXW replaced under warranty because of excessive condensation inside the headlight assembly - - if the mist disappears for you and doesn't leave anything behind on the inside of the headlight lens, then you should be okay.

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