Apparently caused by a dirty headlamp aquired on an extremely (road) salty 50 mile run.  Quick wipe with with a wet cloth and restarting the car cured it.  Note, may car doesn't have the headlight washer system.  I was amazed.  Car even said which side was impared.  Has anyone else seen this?  Perhaps this is how Skoda get around not having a washer system fitted; get the driver to do it!

No!  I've had something telling me the collision avoidance radar is impaired (when there's snow on it), but never anything for headlights.  (Ours does have the headlamp washers though).

I thought washers were compulsory for xennon and LED lights????

Washers OR automatic levelling, I think.

Can't say for anywhere else in the world but here in the UK, washers are only a legal requirement with High Intensity Discharge ( eg Xenon ) headlights.  Light Emitting Diode ( LED ) headlights are not the same as HID.

Does your car have matrix headlights?

Compulsory on xenon lights only as well as a levelling system.

 

For led no washer system is required.

Washers AND autolevelling, at least in mainland.
