Anyone else get condensation in their headlight? I did upgrade to cyclops led bulbs in my 22', but the condensation was there before. The seals on the lids for the bulbs is still new and feels like it secures tightly when put back on. Ive spent 99% of my time in the automotive world but ridden bikes for about 19 years and never had one actually get condensation in them. Guessing i should take it to the dealer.
I have had this problem since I first picked up my '13 used in '18. Regular halogen H7 bulbs are what I run.
The condensation is slight and in the lower corners where both headlights are parallel to one another
in the middle of the headlight housing.
I tried everything possible including pulling out both bulbs and sticking a hair-dryer nozzle (while using different temps)
in the opening to try and clear out any residual moisture that may have been trapped in the housing. I checked the housing for any
cracks or compromises but there were none. There are supposedly a few air vents/valves in the housing but I could never really
locate them and I did not want to remove the whole headlight housing to check further. I made sure the headlight bulb caps
were always flush and that the o-rings in the caps were in good shape and made the necessary seal.
Finally I just gave up. When I come back from a ride and there is condensation (more so when it is hot-n-humid) I remove both
headlight caps for about 25 minutes and the condensation always disappears while sometimes leaving just a
very, tiny bit of a cloudy residue that eventually dissipates fully till the next time.
I bet you that more people have this condensation issue as well but are just not aware of it.
