    Condensation drips inside headlights

    I noticed some drip lines inside both of my headlights recently. It’s fairly minor, but, any suggestions on how to wipe it clean? Or is there something wrong with my headlights? I’m assuming either during a wash or rainy drive water got inside and left its fingerprint behind. I don’t see any other evidence of water intrusion other than the clear lens and 2-3 water drip lines. Both sides. If I need to replace them I’d rather do it now before GenV headlights cost $10k! Thanks for any help/advice

    Interesting. I have two Gen 5s now and had another one before. Never had this problem. I don't think water should be getting inside the headlights. Did you give them the once over to see if you can see any obvious cracks or holes where water could get in? If you find some maybe some clear silicone would solve the problem without having to replace the headlights.

    I don’t see anything suspicious. The ’drips’ look old almost like water spots not actively wet. I did do a search here and found some posts from 2017 with similar issues but that thread ended up with replacement lights under warranty. I don’t have that luxury so looking to see if there’s a way to get to the inside of the lens and wipe it clean.
    I also have never noticed actual water inside them when washing either. The bottom of the light looks like it was never wet. It looks like condensation built up and two drips formed then dried out.
