After work intended to address mist inside a headlamp lens, repeat the original conditions in a safe place and check whether the symptom returns. Record whether moisture is a light haze that clears or visible droplets that remain. Record the result before clearing codes or resetting adaptations.
Follow the maker’s procedure for drive cycles and readiness monitors. Check the lamp cover and seals only from a visible position; replacing a bulb with the wrong type can affect sealing. If the issue remains, return to the evidence instead of swapping another part.
