Looks like condensation but in reality is a vapor/fog from the reflecting coating.
I've got a pair from ebay-looked as real lights, bulbs (H1) burned almost simultaneously in a week or so.

Are you saying that the fog will burn off in a few week, since the lights are new. I can actually see water droplets and fog inside my lense.

Based on the TSBs it has issued, Audi's position is that the condensation is normal and not covered by the warranty.

So most people have condensation in their fog light? What exactly does the TSB say, do you have a link?

Thanks

Looks like Audi is recommanding compressed air to clear the lens of fog and water droplets. I will have the dealer try the compressed air and check the seal on my 5000 mile oil change.
I am coming from a Lexus, I am spoiled. Lexus would just change the light assembly with out asking question.
