Headlight Condensation

Anyone else with condensation in their headlights?

Service due soon so will ask them what they are going to do to resolve. Would be good to know if anyone has resolved this already and how.

They will tell you it is normal and nothing to worry about (see ownerinfo.landrover.com, Exterior Lights). My L405 lights have condensation regularly in colder weather and that is what LR said when I complained, the manual/ownerinfo says much the same as that of the L460, subject to the L460 one adding that it's worse with LEDs as they don't generate much heat. Only Range Rovers since 1988

Mine are like that too in cold weather. My L405 was the same and I had those replaced under warranty but the replacements were just the same. If it comes and goes I don’t think it’s much of a problem. If it’s constantly there and all over the glass then it ought to be replaced. It only seems to be along the bottom, DRL area of mine.

I have had this same problem with a Cayenne I have had since new.

I lived with it for a number of years listening to the same dealer drivel. Condensation / eva[oration cycles … jeez I don’t think they could understand my statement that these should be “sealed” units as they are classed as … sealed meaning no ingress of moisture -hence no “cycle”cond/evap cycle at all !

Eventually it would not clear and there were pools of water inside the headlight unit. The dealer still argued over “ acceptable pooling” … Incredible …. In the end I embarrassed them into changing the worst one as the other cleared (more or less)
Warranty covered it , these are pricey units if not under warranty … probably just to make u live with it …! If you have the warranty keep on at them to replace the leaky unit

I’ve had exactly the same problem with mine. My car is currently in the garage at the moment to resolve a few other minor warranty issues. Ill let you know how it fares when I get the car back
