Default c6 (09) headlight moisture ??

I have a new 09 with 1500 miles on it.. I noticed today when I washed it (40*) that there is alittle bit of foggy condensation inside the headlights. Both headlights seem to get this way. The foggy-ness clears up and there is no moisture inside the headlights. But wondering if other people see this look in their headlights.. IS this normal? thanks in advance! Tonya .

Normal, and when you think about it, to be expected. They do clear-up so it's a short term distraction.

The headlights are vented, which also causes grief when you live in a dusty area like AZ.. have a slight film of dust on the inside, not really visible until night time when the lights are on.. PITA..

You might want to take the cover off the inside wheel well and check the rubber seal over the high and low beam bulbs. I had the same problem on the passenger side and when I recently replaced the bulbs found one of the rubber caps over the light was off.

Funny, I actually have a tiny little bug in my driver's side headlight. I wonder how in the world he found his way in there. LOL.

And you retrieved a 2.5 year old thread to tell us about it?
