A condition may exist where condensation forms on the
inside of the composite headlamp lens. This condition is
considered normal on a cool lens, however after the
headlamps have been on, this moisture should dissipate.
The length of time for moisture dissipation may vary due to
the heat generated by the headlamps and air flow through
the headlamp assembly from vehicle movement. If a
condition occurs where condensation remains, the vent tubes
should be inspected for kinks or obstructions. It is
essential that the vent tubes are in place and routed correctly (without kinks) for effective ventilation.
