Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

I washed my Cayman this evening and as I was drying it noticed that there was condensation inside the headlight and a spider web sort of pattern at the bottom. Picture is attached. The condensation dissipated pretty quickly and when gone the spider web pattern disappeared. Is this something anyone else has seen? Should I take it in to the dealer?

POST 3Original post

I had the same problem but on a larger scale after driving home in the rain shown in the attached picture. Happened on both lenses. Did you get the whole unit replaced without a problem?

POST 4Original post

Yeah, my dealer replaced the unit. Amazingly easy to do. It's a single unit that just pops out and in. No wires, just a special tool and one twist. A pretty cool design. Note however that the replacement bulb was not aligned correctly. Make sure they check that if you get replacements.

POST 5Original post

I had the exact same issue with my right headlight assembly on my 09. I was told by my dealer that these lights are sealed and should not have condensation forming on the inside. They ordered a new assembly from Germany and replaces it under warranty in about 15 minutes.
