Information On Headlight Dewfall

In cool or humid weather conditions, the headlights can fog over temporarily on the inside.

The cause is the temperature difference between the inner and outer surface of the headlight lens (comparable with a windscreen during rain).

This effect can be more or less distinctive on the left and right.

With the low-beam headlights switched on, condensation in the area of the light beam or on the headlight lens evaporates after a short time.

Here, condensation can remain inside the headlights at the border areas.
