We picked up a new Mini a couple of days ago and both headlights have a circle of condensation about 10cm diameter.
The dealer says this is normal as they are breathable and that it just burns off
On previous cars, it's been a problem that usually ends up in replacement seals.
Anyone know if this is really OK?
Thanks
Mike

We’ve got a 2018 MINI Clubman; it’s got LED headlights, and I haven’t seen any condensation in them. Now, I haven’t been looking for it, but I’m sure I’d notice if it was there, if that makes sense?

Mine does this and it does burn off. Condensation in the fog lights is another matter they need replacing.
