Check your headlights/fogs...

[Sixth]

I haven't looked much at anything else except for a few things I read about on the forum. Rear Window misaligned a bit, rear taillights also. Havent checked headlights or panels. My hood looked perfectly gapped though...I actually hate taking my car in for warranty work...the horror stories.....

There is another discussion about this somewhere. Apparently the headlights are vented and this is normal. Not sure about the fogs, but I assume the same thing.

Yes your headlights and fogs are vented. And normal fog is expected to happen and it goes off when it warms up

edit...just went out to check...i guesss you guys are right. the condensation went away and there are no residue left on the lights. but what was the purpose to have them vented?

Hmmm..i guess its related to keep air flow healthy inside the glass so that they don crack due to heat n all.

In few cars inert gases are put so as to avoid it but again they are feakishly costly

It can not be air tight. The HIDs run hot and the air temperature will fluctuate. expand and contract, causing damage.

not only that, but when you change headlights, any moisture that gets in the headlight casing will be stuck there and you will end up with condensation that you don't want (beading water droplets)

Vented is the best way to go, and the side effects of that (tinge of fog) is minimal.

thanks for the reply. i didnt know they were vented. i had a case where my 2013/14 headlights brand new from ford had a seal leak. water got in since my car sits outside and it was a pretty good rain storm. the next morning there was water and condensation in the headlights. like you explained beading water droplets.
