Default Headlights

Recently purchased my first Corvette - 2005 C-6 Coupe. I love the car but I have many questions that the dealer can't answer because of lack of knowledge themselves (very disappointed). Most of them I've found the answers myself on line but not all. The headlights fog up in the rain and the FM radio reception is terrible. The dealer says this is normal and acceptable - I don't agree, can anyone offer help or suggestions?

Yes, the headlights fog up, but they're made that way. The problem with the radio is a known problem. Switch to AM, then back to FM. And be sure you read the C6 FAQ at the top of the first page of thread titles in the C6 General section.

Although the headlight housing is one piece it's not a sealed unit. So moisture in the air will get in a cause condensation.
