i had an old lamp go this way on my VX, the enclosure had a hole - the seal behind the actual lamps may be no good as well - either way you shouldn't be getting this on a headlamp. It's leaking somewhere IMO.

They don't have a drain hole, which could be clogged, do they?

I could be wrong but I thought they were airtight.

anyone else have this happen to their SS after driving in rain? I have to admit I haven’t really driven in much rain since buying the car and have not noticed this ever before? It’s on both lights so must be normal for the car but why? Is it just the heat coming out from engine bay after parking? It’s on the inside... just checked 10 minutes after parking it’s gone. ***edit, ok it’s just from engine heat but do others get this too then...***

I could be wrong but I thought they were airtight.

They should be sealed.

Woooo, have you changed any of the lamps?
The parker and indicator lamp holders have seals on them, and the access covers for low and high beam are sealed as well.
Might be time check that the seals are in place.

when i bought replacement lamps they don't do this anymore - imo this is not normal.

however, you'd have to ask GM - but you know they might think it's normal too - (random thought) i think there may even be a little breather hose somewhere???? Also important for everyone to remember it's been SUPER humid at least in Brisbane over the last few weeks.

Yes the inside is black...
Doesn't seem normal for the lights to fog up. I've never noticed it happen on my car which is a daily do if it's raining...
