Technical Tail lights fogging up!!!

[buck-egit]

I have noticed lately that when washing the car or if it has been raining for a while ( like every day now ) My rear light clusters mist up fairly badly

Is anyone else having this problem??????

feel a visit to the dealer comin on .......

it happened to me once after washing it with hot water but the mist disappeared pretty fast under the sun.

your dealer won't help you, it's normal.

Yeah happened to me once but it didnt last longer than an hour

Yes also happens on mine but they dont take long to clear up.

this happens on the stilo and any car that has a clear lens (whether it be coloured).

Now when i mean clear lens compare your bravos back lights to 80s cars, like the rover 213. the bulb side were rows of pyrimids. this his condensation issues.

What i noticed on the stilo, especially now its getting colder, is that a water drop can be on the outside but create condensation inside, even if perfectly sealed, however this will dissappear a short time after brushing off the water drop

I have owned A new A4, Scienic, and ford focus and all of them have never ever misted up the rear lights when I washed the car this is the first time i have ever seen it on any of the new cars i have owned, sure it happened on my old cars years ago but none of my newer ones.........
Its a bit dodgy if you ask me .......

Nah its fine lol. Unless it stays there when there is no water apparent.

Fine? i have had this problem with my bravo, its fecking annoying! i will be on my 2nd set of lights monday from the dealers, it has never hapened to any other car i have owned, never mind a new one

This has never happened while i have been washing the car, normally on crap days.

it happens on our saxo. one light is perfectly sealed, the other is fractured and they still do it

Meh, it happened on my focus and my MG as well, i guess i just dont see it as a problem thats all

 

[Tad-bravo]

it's normal for this to happen, there is no headlight or taillight that is hermetically sealed.

Ive had it on mine after driving back from in the rain but it was gone by the morning (didnt check inbetween) and it did it on my old bravo i had a couple of times and my mum n dads barchetta. Must be a fiat thing!

Happens to a friend of mine and me too...he has a 120TJET Dynamic and i've got the 150TJET sport...

Has never happened to me before(on any of my previous cars)...i don't pay a lot of attention to it so i don't care, but he has had his lights changed, without any effect!
