Headlamp Misting - Or Not?

[dwilson]

I have noticed this for the last18 months that I have had an Aygo. Condensation appears behind the cover of the nearside front headlamp. I thought this was the misting up that some owners have complained of and that I should get it fixed at the next service. Today though I noticed that it just looks like a plastic covering over the headlamp and the headlamp unit and another bulb were inside this protective screen. I don't know if I am explaining this very well!

I am now wondering as to whether it is really anything to worry about? It had disappeared the other week but then comes back when I wash the car!

Can anyone give me a link to a parts diagram or any thoughts please?

Thanks,

David

Have you got a picture? one of my headlamps was replaced under warranty as it was misting up too much.

Here is a picture of mine from 2 years ago

Thanks - I haven't a picture (yet).

I don't think it looks as bad as yours though!

The water is getting in when I wash the car too. Not sure if it is just cosmetically unattractive or if it could cause some damage.
