Both Bottom Front Bottom Lights Have Condensation.

[FabMonte]

Monte Carlo 2011.  16k miles

 

Is it Sealing Or Venting Issue???

 

Cant see any damage 

 

Any help please

It's a 'standard feature' which is even mentioned in the owners handbook.  There's nothing to worry about, in terms of damage being done....

is normal, the consensation drys off normaly during operation.

Yup, I have the same with my DRL's. Like Wibb says, does dry out after a while.

MidlifecrisisT,

 Different set up on a Monte Carlo compared to a vRS.

You should not have that with your type of Sidelight / DRL units on a vRS.

I take it you have your DRL's deactivated, (Switched off) so that they are not always on when the car is running, 

(& only work as sidelights when you switch them on.)

but really even then they should not have condensation in them.

Arent they leds on a vrs?

Having then on or off wouldnt make much difference to drying them out as leds run cool and dont emit much heat.

Hi George

Mine are always on. Not deactivated them but it has crossed my mind.

I've noticed what appears to be condensation a few times now (only on Drl's) not main headlights, But has cleared up after a good run. Maybe a have a gap/crack somewhere then! More money then if they need to be replaced haha.

Not just you, mine do this as well. I was under the impression it's normal (as per the instruction manual).

Is there an instruction manual for MK2 Skoda vRS DRL's.

 

Skoda seemed to think they had Fog Lights fitted and advertised them as such.

Dealerships still tell you they have Front Fog lights, because Skoda said they do.
