Air on inside of plastic is slightly moist and warm and condenses on contact with surface exposed to cooler conditions. It's physics I'm afraid. Have it slghtly on mne, I think a fog is acceptable as mine clears quickly. If there is actual water present in droplets, then I'd definately get them looked at.

I had this problem on my FL2 headlights, probably because I had it open for a while modifying.

I think the difference is: when I'm not in the RRS I'm in an old battered Astravan van that does 0-60 in 10mins 14secs and the rear window follows suit !! |

Experienced the condensation problem on my new MY10 RRS and had new headlights fitted by the supplying dealer last week and guess what, when they drove the car onto the forecourt the new ones had 6cm of condensation in the bottom of both lights! Dealer refused to order further replacements and was told to contact LR Customer Care who were a bit confused at the dealer attitude. Awaiting their response after emailing photo's of fogged up headlights. Will post response when received.

It is strange that there is a "head in the sand" attitude to this as the very early 2002/2003 FFRR's all suffered from this in the rear light cluster and it was fixed under warranty by Land Rover. I think the fix involved replacing the light clusters with a new one with a seal on it, it was done for all the car's where the owner had complained about it. Mine got done went in to have some other recall done. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I have just got my new RRS last night, after turning my back on years of Porsche!! I love it, but i seem to have the same condensation problem, I have an appointment monday at my local dealer, is there anything specific I should tell them if they try to brush me off?? As i've never dealt with RR/LR before.
