B9 B9 2024 - RS4 headlights - condensation

[s3mad_dude]

I don’t really use the car much in the winter but if I do, and it’s damp/wet, I get a build-up of condensation in the headlights.

There isn’t water droplets inside the lenses, which makes me think it’s just poor design, but keen to hear if any other exhibit this sort of behaviour.

Is this limited to matrix headlights only, or do all B9 RS4s suffer this?

Happens to many different year cars bud, factory fix is they remove headlight & hairdryer the condensation away then refit, there's a vent tube on most maybe this is blocked, maybe worth a check but usually only seen when bumpers of.

Thanks NHN - typically poor design then by the sounds of it. LEDs don’t create as much heat as xenon so I guess that’s another contributory factor.

If/when I ever take the front bumper off I’ll take a look at the vent pipes - thanks.
