Water in Headlights?

Water in Headlights?
Anyone have any trouble with having tons of condensation in their headlights? I have a 2005 S4 and it is getting bad enough to impair night driving. I took it to Strong and they said this was 'normal' and not anything they could do. Are there any fixes for this? If not, anyone know the type of lights that would fit? Thanks for the help!

The seals on your headlights have been compromised. You can attempt to reseal them.
I did this on my C5/A6. Very common "Audi" problem.
Common solution: clear silicone + oven/heat gun.
I have used the silicone and a heat gun before. Works like a charm.

Had the same issue with my 05
I had a similar problem with mine and did the o ring fix. Here is a link. Been about a week or so with no condensation.

If you need some help I'd be happy to give you a hand.

Thanks for the reply. Are you referring to the same seal (o-ring) as the post above? or is there another seal? Sorry, I am pretty clueless about the headlight maintenance/replacement.

Might take you up on the help. I will investigate and see if I can find the o-ring. Thanks for the reply. Let me know if the fix continues to work.
