Popped to Audi today to have some vents/grommets fitted to rear of LED headlights to assist with ventilation and prevent misting up issues. I've not suffered from any problems but was called last week by dealer.

Took about 30 mins for them to do whatever they did - Audi recall/fix number 94H9.

Anyone else been summoned...?

Only reference I can see about this is:

Mine was in for a service today and this was done at the same time.

Also some breather pipes were checked as part of another campaign, can't remember the number and paperwork is in the car, I'll check and and reply tomorrow.

Probably because LED produces less heat thus the lamps stay misted up? Not a problem for xenon's though..

Very interesting - does anyone have any before and after pics of the additional venting as would be good to see if they've cured this in current production.
