Headlights Fogged

[Badgertits]

Same shut happened on my GM truck(s) & also went Away

pretty sure it’s just designed that way w/ a lil vent to clear up otherwise probably no way to prevent possibility of some condensation building up @ some point

in other words- It’s not like the lights are Mercedes quality & Ford/GM know it

Live in PA and have experienced this issue with my Raptor and other vehicles. Not a big deal.

Completely normal, my truck has been doing it as well as my 18 Transit work vehicle.

I too have had the same issue. As the one guy pointed out - It's really only a problem when considerable condensation droplets appear and won't go away.

How cold did the temp drop to do that? I’m in ky and I know it’s not as cold as where your at but it got down to 12 degrees the other night and my 19 didn’t have any issues

It depends on the dew point, temp, and previous humidity on any given set of days.

From the Owner's Manual:

Condensation in the Exterior Front
Lamps and Rear Lamps
Exterior front lamps and rear lamps have
vents to accommodate normal changes
in air pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product
of this design. When moist air enters the
lamp assembly through the vents, there is
a possibility that condensation can occur
when the temperature is cold. When
normal condensation occurs, a fine mist
can form on the interior of the lens. The
fine mist eventually clears and exits
through the vents during normal operation.
Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours
under dry weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
• The presence of a fine mist (no streaks,
drip marks or large droplets).
• A fine mist covers less than 50% of the
lens.
Examples of unacceptable condensation
are:
• A water puddle inside the lamp.
• Streaks, drip marks or large droplets
present on the interior of the lens.
If you see any unacceptable condensation,
have your vehicle checked by an authorized
dealer.

Owners manual, who reads that.. lol thats what forums are for, to get advice from someone that has read it. Obviously easier to ask then go look.

View attachment 136148 View attachment 136149 View attachment 136150 For the life of me I don’t remember my previous gen 2s doing this in the cold weather. Can it be normal? 2020 headlights in cold PA weather.

Nothing more annoying than this! Fogged headlights

anyone else having LED marker issues? I had to replace the Grill ones already and now I just noticed the driver side flare marker is out. Now that i look them, they are both full of moisture too so the dealer is going to replace both of them for me.
