Condensation in litronic headlight - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

It’s been raining hard and today I noticed the inside of one headlight has condensation. Is there a seal that can go bad and can be replaced? About to park the fleet for the winter so this might make the project list. Any advice out there? 2001 Boxster S

My brother also faced the same issue. Have you found out any solution yet?

heavy rains here in the east coast this summer...went away. apparently there are vents in the lights and it evaporated.
a problem that never was.

usually turning on the headlights for a while is enough heat to evaporate the condensation inside the headlight....or you can use a hair dryer or heat gun to evaporate the condensation from the outside....

Yes they are designed that way to cool the lights.
