Condensation in Headlamp Lens.

Hi Lads
Noticed lately that my Headlamp has developed condensation inside the Lens, can't see any damage to the Lens. Removed the Headlamp and it has securing clips around it 2006 Sport.
Can the Lens be split from the main Body of the Headlamp, had a quick try with the clips removed but didn't appear to get any movement.
Only other option a bag of Silica hidden inside the Headlamp Body. Laughing
Cheers Thumbs Up

I’m sure I’ve read in the owners manual that condensation is normal. CEO has the car at the mo so can’t look.

The headlights aren't sealed - indeed they have vent pipes on the back of them to allow for heating / cooling when the lights are on / off. Entirely normal to get condensation at certain times. Drive with the lights on for a bit and that will probably dry them out. Thumbs Up 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
