Question about Data Dots

I just had them done today. I was wondering do they take off the lenses to the headlights? Both sides are really fogged up on the inside. I hope it goes away.

I am pretty sure they do not open up your headlights.

The same thing happened to me when I got them done....I tried my best to keep the car in the sunny and run the HL to help evap the mositure....No condensation since....

The Service Advisor said it would clear up....what do you, it did....First time he's been right since I've been going to them...He said something about when the remove the HLs the seal is relaxed so some moisture gets in....

There might be more to it than that....wash the HLs to make sure the seal isn't broken, and watch them for the next week or so. If you see more moisture build up, call your service center...

Its an identification number installed on your 2k2/2k3 headlights by the dealer so that the authorities can track your xenon lights if they get stolen
