What’s a quick way to temporarily fix this eye sore? My dealership tells me that it could be months before I get replacement unit 🤦🏻‍♂️

 

Tell them to get one on order, and then park it head first into the sun to get the moisture out. There's a seal gone bad somewhere on that lens that will need to be found. Might be something you can see with the hood up and looking around at where the lens is fixed to the housing.

 

Search ‘MOISTURE IN HEADLIGHT COVER’ in this forum in the Search function. Someone has a post referencing a dealer bulletin which addresses your issue.

 

There's a section in the iguide about condensation also

EXTERIOR LIGHTS CONDENSATION

Condensation in the headlights, direction indicators, or rear lights is a natural phenomenon.

Condensation can occur under certain atmospheric conditions or after washing the vehicle. The performance and life expectancy of the lights is not affected.

Condensation should partially or completely clear, with regular use of the lights, within 48 hours of dry atmospheric conditions.

LED lights distribute less heat towards the outer lens than halogen or xenon lights. In extreme conditions, LED lights may take longer to clear, but this is not detrimental to the performance of the light.

 

14,000 miles. I have already reached out to dealer and hope I get this warrantied.

 

At least it looks like your washer jets don't weep. ;-)

 

Took it to the dealer today, basically told me that they would not take the chance on warranty as JLR has denied too many headlamps with condensation siting that it is normal. I am calling the customer support number tomorrow. Also planning to try a different dealer. Mine has gotten worse.

 

Perhaps you pull the headlight out, fill the housing up with water through one of the holes (there must be bulb access ports on the rear or something, yes?), reinstall it, and take it to the dealer 2/3's full of sloshing water. They'd have no way of denying that.

 

Don't worry. The DRL will fail soon enough and they'll have to swap it out.

 

Exactly what the SM said when we spoke.
