Default Condensation Poll

I'll be printing this thread and taking it with me to the dealer so please keep it clean. My wifes 02' GS430 has condensation in the headlights. I did search and have friends with 2gens so I know its a common problem.
I want a roll call of people who have now or have had in the past condensation in thier headlights.

Thanks

Have it. Many people who brought it to their dealer's attention, either had it replaced free of charge or they just had to pay for the labor. Now some had a very hard time, and got nowhere. This is if your car is out of warranty. In warranty, they should honor your request and replace. If not a call to corporate might do the trick.
