| Moisture is condensing on the inside of vehicle headlamp and tail lamp housings. this occurred within a day of taking delivery of the (brand new) vehicle. contacted local hyundai service department and they are aware of this. they have noted this same problem on other like model/year vehicles. hyundai district service managers are also aware of this problem but, so far, hyundai motor co. has not addressed the issue. not only is condensed moisture on the inside of lamp housings unsightly, i would think moisture inside the housings could cause long term headlight and taillight reliability/safety problems. *tr | |||
