Need help on condensation problem

[JIN]

Hi guys.

I just had my replacement on my left headlight because of condensation problem as I posted on this forum couple of weeks ago.

I have checked my warranty on my car since I bought it from auction so I wasn't sure about my warranty and it was available.

Also, my car was demo car and is on the management something which if I pay $120, they fully check my car for the first 3 years.

So, I asked for a replacement and it's done in this morning but....

It seems like the problem keeps coming again.

I believe there's something wrong with air flow under the bonnet especially back of the left headlight.

Could this possibly be happened because I always keep the temperature selector to hot?

I normally put the air flow selector on Floor/Windshield and the air intake selector light is on although the fan speed is off.

I don't think the problem is occurring because of the air flow inside thogh.

Any advice would be appriciated.

Are you sure they replaced the headlight for you?

If so, get another replacement. Perhaps this time try and get a permanent texta, draw a small dot somewhere on the headlight (back preferably) where you can easily recognise and take it back.

You'll be able to tell if they've replaced it this time around.

Yeah I am sure they replaced the headlight because there was a small mark on it but I can't see it now.

Yeah, my first reaction was whether or not they had really swapped it. The bulbs that go on the headlight have a rubber seal on them. Once the bulbs are in, there should barely be any air getting into the headlight assembly. It is quite odd to get the same problem on a new assembly that soon.

try checking that the seals are correctly on and don't have any holes where air can get through.

maybe they replaced the headlight unit but not the seals/light fixtures?

do you park your car undercover on under the stars?

[JIN]

They replaced the whole thing including the seal rubbers.

Also I always park on the street but it shouldn't be the reason causing the problem because

my brother's car(93 civic) is outside too and it never happened on his car.

Today was pretty sunny so I opened the headlight cap and dried the headlight.

The moisture inside is all gone now and I closed the rubber cap again.

I watch a couple of days more and if it still happens I have to bring it back to toyota

because it doesn't look like a problem on the headlight maybe something else.

shouldn't make a difference but it does.

different car - different reaction.

i know my old 91 camry had condensation in the tail lights when i parked it under the stars. But when i parked it in the carport it wouldnt do it. i know the car is old but thats where im coming from. it does make a difference
