I read the manual. Apparently it's expected?

It should go away if you drive a while with the headlights on as stated in the manual. I have not seen it on mine yet.

Some moisture is normal but this seems excessive to me.

However, I'm in SoCal so we don't get much of the weather that causes moisture in the headlamps.

I'll keep an eye on it. We'll see. Unlikely there is a manufacturing defect on both lenses.

Garage List
I have condensation in my left headlight as well. Took possession on Dec 8 2020, brand new car. Still have slight condensation after almost 2 months. But I don't think the winter months is helping. The condensation only occur after driving in the cold with headlights on, but once parked in the garage (above 0C temperature), it will disappear until the car is out in the cold again.

Slightly off topic. I have this same thing happen with my rear left tail light. Is this to be expected too?
