Default Headlights under factory warranty?

Hello everyone....

Just bought a black 05 mustang today and love it.

Only problem is there isa considerable amountcondensation in both headlights, the driverside more than the passenger side. Is this normal with these cars? And is it something that would be replaced under warranty? I have 1,000 miles left on my factory warranty....

Any help is much appreciated.

yes My Impala did it. I took it to the stealership and got a brand new one put in. do it before the warranty runs out. I would assume it is covered though, just take it in and say I need new head lights due to the condensation.

Yup take that in. Happened to me and they replaced it after taking one look at it.

if they dont cover it I have read some places that you can put them in a oven to get rid of it, but make sure if you do this you get the right instructions on what your doing....

I'd suspect some dealerships will give you a hard time about it since it's a used vehilce. But IMO, if a dealership is worth anything they'll take care of it.

Used or not, it should be covered and you should demand replacement PERIOD! I hate it when the dealer splits hairs and debates what and what they will cover. The current warranty is bumper to bumper and that should cover the lights!
