    Anyone had the headlights of there 430 mist up
    mine has never been jet washed from new, has not seen water for the last 8 weeks yet the headlights were fogged up after a recent 3 weeks of none use
    i guess it's a warranty job?

    no it's water droplets alright, on the inside of the perspex cover with 2 water runs originating from the centre it's not cracked and the strange thing it's on both headlights almost a mirror image

    Sounds like the seal must be broken and condensation is forming. Just have them replaced under warranty.

    No this is a rarity AFAIK. The reason is is that a broken seal is a very fundamental failure of the Valeo lights and should not happen.

    is it possible for moisture to enter via the bulb aperture?

    Srfcity...do you think the broken seal is the same reason I'm seeing the "rainbowing" effect in my lights?

    That happened on the 360 a lot. I thought them to be totally sealed on the 430. Regardless, water should not appear in there under any circumstances.

    Probably.
