I have noticed a few posts in the forums about the tinted headlights on some new mustang fogging up.Well mine is fogging up also but i have had my car since september of last year.Should i take to car back to the dealer and point out the fogged up lights?They don't do it all the time,just some times,but it looks like crap when they do!What would be my chances of getting them to replace them even though my car has had paint work done on it(it was hit in the side right after i baught it and we repainted the whole driver's side of the car from the front headlight to the tail light)Thanks for reading my post.Shane

I had both of my front headlight assemblies replaced for free under warranty because of the "fogging up" problem. A good dealership will honor your request to have them replaced under warranty...if the service advisor gives you a hassle, then go somewhere else.

Is your car still under warranty? If so, they will replace them if they are fogging up due to moisture getting inside.

Def. take it back and have it replaced free under warranty. There is an actual tsb that you can find through google or maybe someone has the actual tsb about the moisture in the headlights. I've had the headlights on my car replaced 3 times under warranty for the fogging issue and so far these are holding up pretty well.
