Faulty LED grille DRL

[Base1388]

Hi all.
As above. Condensation in the lens.
What can I do?
No idea of cause.

Are they genuine VW?

I had condensation in one of my front fogs, after I changed to LED bulbs. Transporter HQ swapped the bulb incase it was a faulty seal, but it still fogged up. I used a heat gun to gently warm it up, and it's never condensated since.

Bare in mind that I could remove the bulb to allow for the moisture to escape whilst warming. I'm not sure if that's possible with a Drl if they are a sealed unit?

Yes the genuine VW.
Bought from here. Forum shop !
As a sealed unit I wouldn’t expect it to do that ?

Should I try warm it up ? But as you say moisture has no where to go.

I’ve never used a jet wash so I’ve not forced moisture in there.

Maybe give it a few days. My wife's new Mini headlights had condensation from new, but it eventually disappeared and never came back.

Hello Sir, hope all well
This DRL thing is worse now !
I'll post a picture in a min.

Are you at Camper Jam ?
Just wondering if it possible you could bring a replacement for me ? Don't know how forum shop returns normally work, I just didn't want a hole in my bumper while I waited for a replacement.

Please let me know anyway
Many Thanks

Any Thoughts Fella ??

Try your local dealer, the warranty is with VW if they are faulty they will replace them

Hi everyone. I’ve got a bit of a problem with flickering lower DRLs on my T6. Anyone ever experienced this. They are factory VW ones and both are doing it in sync.
