Has anyone else experienced condensation in these new headlights for the 2024s? I read that some is normal but this seems to be a bit excessive? It's been over a week here and they will not clear up. Minus 22 Celsius here today and they are now frozen inside.

I had this issue in the summer after washing my truck, but it would go away shortly after. That's when I read it was normal. Here in Michigan we went through our first cold spell. I have not seen it since the temperatures have dropped. We have gone through some drastic temperature changes. That's when I would expect it to happen more. If I were you I would definitely ask the dealership.

Same thing moisture in both high beams.
Called salesperson and they knew about the issue. They claim the moisture will vent out.
Have a heated garage and it cleared up. Still not satisfied , assuming the vent is too small, not sure.

Couldn't agree more. Picture explains my first 6k of ownership.

It would be interesting to see where the moisture will drip out if heat is applied, of coarse not to much heat in one spot, perhaps using a hair dryer.
