I have a 01 GT and its original headlights fogged up within 6 months--the replaces did also.

Are the newer Mustangs fogging their headlights also? I replaced the originals back in Sept 01 . My warranty will run out next Feb and I wanted to know if the newer headlights are doing the same thing.

This Fogging is due to the glue used in the headlight to seal the lens to the reflector--it isnt moisture getting into the headlight.

Thanks!

Keep replacing it till you find one that doesn't fog up....Some Ford dealerships told me not to bother because they all do that but I didnt' buy that. Some are defective...some are not.

I had this problem after my car got keyed. They had to pull the drivers side head light and taillight to paint the car, since then the head light fogged up. Pissed me off because I had a gorgeous 25,000 dollar car and It looked like that. They replaced the headlight assembly with a new one and I never had the problem again.

how teh hell is the glue causing the fogging? the fogging should be caused by water leaking into the housing. its caused by the water evaporating from rising temps in the housing.

Im not 100% sure if its the same scenario but i work at a chevy dealer and the impala lights do this alot... The common problem is if you dont drive alot with the lights on or night driving they will fog up from the difference in temps and humidity etc.. but as strange as it sounds drive with the lights on for a while and it will dissipate... try it and youll see it works..
