Default Fogging Headlights

When i drove my new truck home in light rain, i noticed when i stopped both headlights had fog/condensation inside the main outside cover. Tells me it's not an airtight system. just hope it's not something that gets dirty/crummy from water forming/drying, etc.

I'd take it in and get them replaced. Not the first condensation issue I've seen with these.

If you read the manual, it is normal in certain weather conditions and should clear up on its own in a day or so. Getting them replaced likely won't do anything.

My first non-dealer oil change they noted my drivers side HL had moisture in it. I looked when I got home and there was nothing. It was rainy that day, so having the HL on might have dried it up, LEDs still get warm, so ..... maybe.

Vented light design. Fog or a little moisture is a normal byproduct of the design. All in the manual
