    Seems as though both my headlights have excessive condensation inside the lens. I recently polished them so it became more obvious. I have had the 2012 for less than a year it definitely had some front end damage
    Can someone tell me if this lens is OEM? IMG_9548.jpeg

    any suggestions for good replacements or things to do to keep these in service?

    The car ought to be out of service soon enough so I'd be saving up for engines and brakes .

    Drill a 1mm hole in the back of each (top of reflector) so the water can evaporate /
    Decades ago it was almost mandatory for all the cars I had....
