Condensation inside head light?

Hello i just bought a used g37 from a used dealer and took the car to have it inspected by an infiniti dealer they checked and said car was fine no damages. A few days later i decided to wash the car and noticed condensation in the head lights was wondering if this is normal? the next day i noticed there was still water inside.

I wonder if the vehicle was ever involved in an accident?

I never observed condensation in my previous 06 G35 or in my current G37S

It is NOT normal to have condensation in the headlights. Bring it back where u got it and ask them to fix it. They will most likely have to replace the light....unless one of the bulbs is installed wrong.

FYI a new headlight is steep.
I had to replace an adaptive hid, $871.00
Go back that is NOT NORMAL.

all the lights are working its just moisture inside the lamp. I asked the dealer if it would be replaced under warranty they said yes.

Glad that the dealer is willing to work with to resolve this issue...keeping a good rapport with them is key.

If its under warranty, it should never be an issue...its an obviously failure; just like any other type of seal failure.

This is definitely not normal, good thing the dealer will cover it!

One of my headlights is like a sauna, but that's because I pulled it apart and painted it and failed to seal it..
