However the lights are specially designed to protect against the effects of condensation.<\/p>\n<p>A frequently disputed issue is fogged glasses inside the lights, this has been around since the early 911, 964, etc. This effect occurs after driving in rain or cold nights, and is a normal physical process. Through the light vents the expanding heated air gets discharged from the lamp housing. After the light is switched of, the light slowly cools down and moist air penetrates from the outside in through the vents. This moisture evaporates in the hot light housing and reflected upon cooling down as the condensation in the headlights. This process is called condensation. After a short ride in dry weather or after the light is switched on the evaporation process begins and the condensation dry of. Technically this process is safe because the reflector is protected against the effects of condensation.<\/p>\n<p>A 100% sealing those lights would cause the following problem: With just a little penetration of air (air has natural water content) and decreasing temperature water vapor would stick down at the coolest spot in the light housing. This moisture would go out very slowly or not at all.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, these lights are designed to be open so the moisture evaporates quickly. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1988\" src=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Instruction_Mist_Leaking_SM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Instruction_Mist_Leaking_SM.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.design911.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Instruction_Mist_Leaking_SM-375x500.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8221; You may experience condensation with these lights.
