Hi, after a car wash water condensation remained in one of the headlamp for about 1 week! Is it time to change it? Anyone has any idea how much does it cost n where can i get it done besides PML? Pls advice thanks.

Any condensation is not normal. That's mean the lamp is not properly seal. Water vapor went in during car wash or heavy rain.

afaik, the headlamp is properly sealed not like water gushing into headlamp casing.
there is super tiny gap for heat dissapation due to xenon high temp. hence, when rainy and car wash there is condensation and it should dried up after 1 day.
i see bmw, audi, merc, vw all got condensation at headlamp especially after rainy day and turn on headlamp.
