Condensation inside headlight housing?

Anyone else getting condensation inside the headlight housing when the lights are on?

I'm only getting it on the driver's side... is this normal? bad? nothing to worry about?

Either the housing is cracked and leaking, or the bulb isn't installed properly.
Have the dealer look at it.

I've got it in both headlights now! Came on quite suddenly too. I didnt think it was covered under warranty, so this is good news.

You got condensation in your headlight? Damn lucky bastard! Wait a couple months, call the dealership and complain... have them replace it with an '06 projector headlight

Infiniti's fix is $hit BTW, make them replace it, or they will drill a little hole in your light & put a little breath sticker!!!

There's a TSB for this. According to that document, if it's just condensation, it tells them to tell the consumer that it's normal. If the moisture starts have drops run down, then they're supposed to replace it.

The 2006 headlights may not necessarily bolt up. If they're bixenon, then you have the signal for the high beam going to the projector solenoid and/or the H4 bulb on the bottom reflector (not sure if the 2006 still will use H4 in the bottom).

Yeah, it probably wont be a direct plug and play... but it shouldnt be too hard to rewire things to make it work.
