Water/Condensation in Headlight Housing

[sonny200]

Was at the carwash today & noticed water/condensation in the driver's side headlight housing. I've never noticed anything like this in the past.

The px side is fine.

Anyone else have this issue?

I know when this happened to my Genesis GV80, it eventually led to entire failure of the headlight & associated sensors & had to be replaced. ($3k/side but replaced under warranty.) But the 5BW is much less sophisticated as compared to the Genny.

I'm at 42k miles on the 5BW so am approaching the end of warranty & want to make sure it isn't something I have to be concerned about.

I haven't heard of any issues, but I think it's time for a dealer visit. I'm sure they will fight you.

I remember on the STS', they had a seal failure causing this....covered under warranty.

Should be covered under warranty, hopefully they don't cut any corners!

I did have this same thing happen on my drivers side and I kept a watch on it and it hasn't happened in 2 years. I took a photo on my phone to keep for future reference if I needed a trip to the dealer.
Let us know if they find an issue.

I saw a lot of 4BW

Ct4s seem to have issues with the headlights going yellow due to the led driver unit going bad. Should be pretty common for the dealer to be replacing headlights under warranty.
