Interesting item in the North Shore Times regarding a woman who bought a new car (2012 Corolla) and had problems with condensation in both headlights and tail lights. The dealer (Albany Toyota) tried to fix the problem and eventually gave up, saying it was not a manufacturing fault. They kept the car for a month and gave her a loan car, a Vitz, which she said also got condensation in the lights! The upshot is that she complained to the Motor Vehicle Disputes Tribunal, which ordered the dealer to take the car back and give a full refund, saying that there should be no issues with a new car. What I can't understand is, how can you ever prevent condensation in unsealed lights. The fact that the loan car also had condensation would suggest it had something to do with where the car was kept, wouldn't it! Interesting precedent.

I initially thought the same. Must be conditions of where its kept or used that is causing it.

It IS considered normal to have a VERY small amount on condensation in modern lights at times which is why the WoF VIRM was recently amended to allow it in small quantities but no large droplets or puddles.
