just got the car in so. calif... i noticed that both head lights have water condensation in side... i have not washed the car yet..i did drive some 50 miles since getting the car...on dry cooler weather... has anyone else gotten this and where do we plug the outside so..... lmk, James R
 
Both my headlights do this this from time to time also, but doesn't seem to cause any long term trouble. I've been told by other owners that this is another "they all do that" problem. Sorry, not a very satisfying answer, but hopefully no need to panic.
 
I also spotted this after I washed it the other week. I've had other cars do the same and with the same "they all do that" response from the dealership to I won't bother mentioning it.

Mine also does it, idk why some car models do and some don’t but also the 718 I had did it but at the rear lights.

LOL - looks like they got their "they all do that" etched into the manual then :)

Ah... tnx for the reply.... weird cause I drove in sunny so calif after noon n still got condensation.... hope it doesn't get weird haze etc over the years.... it's obviously not a "sealed" beam head light.... another lotus "character ".....?
 
Mine does it also from time to time, did not bother asking the dealer.

I was used to it on my previous DB9, maybe it´s not Lotus specific, but British characteristic! 🤣
 
Anyone tried adjusting their headlight height? Mine hits the ground about 100-150' out and I want to raise it a bit and add another 50-100'
 
I get it as well and will ask the dealer when I speak to them tomorrow because I don't think that can be right
