I have noticed condensation inside the headlights twice now.

Just done a 500 mile trip into Germany today in fairly wet weather and have tonight noticed condensation there again.

Should I just ignore it, is it a case of “they all do that sir”, or should I be concerned.

I have the active LED lights, not sure if that makes a difference.

I had LED lights and saw it a few times. It did disappear quickly so just ignored it

As long as it is condensation and disappears then it is OK. I often have it after washing the car.

:D I saw it a few weeks after I got mine and phoned the OPC, they confirmed it was normal.

I was surprised as if you have cool LEDs it would take alittle time to clear it. Eitherway nothing to worry about.

And those who read the manual know it is 'normal' and nothing to worry about.

Easy peasy - more than 165 mph with comfort pressure in the tyres. What's the prize Denis? :lol:
