Strange one - any idea why my front headlights have this fog/mist appearing within the glass frame?

Is it cold weather or have they made a mistake..

I’m getting the same thing on my Gen3 S - don’t know if this is a historic Macan problem?

Don’t worry, as this appears to be normal with LED lights, and the condensation will eventually ‘burn off’.....if you do a search you’ll find several threads on this issue.

Thanks all
Thought maybe I was the only one!

It even mentions it in the manual, but then a lot of people don’t know what a ‘manual’ is it seems…….

I had the same issue with mine, According to my OPC, it is normal, and they are vented, with a small tube to allow the moisture out when the lights get warm, as Nick has said it does mention it in the manual.

Works for the back too and, presumably, it's the small tube that allows them to turn into an insect graveyard

They all do that sir!

I wasn’t aware that there are drainage tubes in the rear lights , as when my N/S rear light had a lot of condensation in it, my OPC swapped it out for a new one.
