Default Headlight vent location

Hey. I was wondering if anyone knew where the headlight vent is. I have some condensation and want to check if the vent is plugged or something. I really don't want to have to take it to the dealer to fix and if there is something simple that I can do all the better.

Thanks.

I dont think they are vented. Pretty sure they are a sealed unit.

Take it to the dealer, you have a seal breach somewhere. It should be covered under warranty unless you changed something like a high wattage bulb that melted the seal or the bulb opening somehow.

I was afraid I would have to take it to the dealer. I have the silverstars in there but I don't think they caused the problem.

Thanks anyway.

Check to see if you turned the Silverstars all the way to tight. It's possible to put one in and not tighten it, allowing air in there, which could be a cause of condensation.

It will not be covered under warranty if you don't replace the stock bulbs before going to the dealership. So switch them back and they might just give you a new headlamp assay...
