Does anyone else have misting in their headlights after they have been on ? mine mist up at the bottom inch or so, the misting clears when they are off but returns when in use. I have the latest type with the solid DRL & Xenons.

preheat your oven to 40C, and open up the headlights and place them inside for 20 minutes.
Remove them and immediately close the access ports.
Misting should be gone unless your headlights are not totally sealed in which case moisture could creep back in.

I assumed so but interestingly it started while it was damp out, rather than raining. Started fogging up and never managed to get it to stop, even after emptying the water out and drying it. I'll just take it into Audi and see what they make of it I think.

I find that a product like the one I have linked works well when trying to seal something and the colour of the sealant is right too.

Thanks for the response's to my query, it seems to be a case of "they all do that Sir". I'll keep an eye on it to see if it worsens.
I notice some of you have misted fog lights too, mine don't mist up so it may be worth taking that up with Audi for a warranty claim.

I asked this myself a few months ago.
seams to be something inherent with the latest Audi light designs ??
Was not an issue with any of my last Audi's.
