Condensation in lights?

Notax · Post by **Notax** » Fri Jul 09, 2021 10:34 pm

Hello, I’ve just bought a very nice V8S Ftype convertible. Only issue so far is that both the passenger headlight and rear boot lid brake light are full of condensation. Any suggestions? Thanks

Read your manual, headlight condensation is normal, it gives details in manual. However if lights do not clear then they can change them under warranty. Not so sure about the boot lid brake light.

Thanks, no warranty, so I hope it clears up!

Here you go...

So anything more than the above is therefore potentially a warranty claim provided there is no damage to the light unit.

If you search for Publication Part No. JJM 10 02 35 151 that is the complete F-Type Owners Handbook from where this extract came from.

Hope you can olsve the condensation issue.
It is so annoying.
But just to put things in perspective (sort of!), on our pre-covid African safari it seemed like just about every Toyota Landcruiser ( most common safari vehicle) had its headlamps literally half to threequarters full of water.
The amazing thing was they still worked.
