Same thing was discussed a few days ago.

Looks quite normal and should go away. It is mentioned in the manual.

Don't worry about it. It happens when the air is moist.
The LED lights don't give off the heat of normal headlights, hence it takes longer to clear.
Perfectly normal, mine's 3.5 years old now and I had condensation this morning.

Thanks for the replies . . . I am not sure if I should feel comforted by reports that this is happening in all Macan's or more concerned. It can't be 'right' and if it is happening in all Macan's it must be a design flaw which presumably can't be fixed!

Covered off in 2016 ( in November too!)

You can’t fight (or design your way out of) physics. The lamps will necessarily have a vent hole. Cold, moist air outside......condensation on the inside. Same with all other makes.
