05 2.0 Condensation in Near Side Headlamp - beresfc
Dear All,

Changed the dipped headlight and sidelight lamps on Saturday morning. Headllight was a bit fiddly due to close proximity of windscreen washer filler pipe. Put car through car wash and noticed a few hours later condensation on inside face of clear head light plastic lense. Could not see how moisture entered headlamp. No damage to headlamp lense and both the head lamp shroud and side light lamp all seamed secure. Tried drying out with hair dryer directing hot air into headlamp via side light lamp hole. Unfortunetly have noticed that condensation has returned.

As any one got a solution to this problem?

Regards

Good news, if your avensis is less than 5 yrs and less then 100'000 miles , then it is covered by a warranty extension from toyota. So take your car to your local toyota dealer and they will sort it out for you FOC. They may have to try a couple of things, ie applying a anti-mist spray (which won't work) but they will almost certainly end up replacing the headlamp.

Dave,

Thanks for the information. Have booked the vehicle in for a headlamp change under warranty.
