Hi all, last week I collected my 2019 Metallic Grey Fiesta ST MK8. I've driven an array of cars over the 13 years I've been driving, Corsa, FN2 Civic, 2 x BMW 1 series, BMW 3 series (family car) and now gone back to a little hot hatch. After reading countless reviews (and spying on this forum) I decided on a Fiesta over the Polo GTI's I was originally looking at.

Found this pretty low mileage example with the heated steering wheel, driver assist, reverse camera to name a few.

Looking to upgrade headlights and fogs to 'whiter' bulbs, one thing I've noticed is condensation inside the headlamp units. Google searches point that this is 'normal' but I've not had this on any of my previous cars - any advice on this would be appreciated!

They're not sealed units, they have vent holes I believe. So moisture can get out...but also in.

Thanks. I was just surprised to see it. I guess I'll keep an eye on it to see if I get any pools or severe droplets

Hi, I am certain it will evaporate in better weather and the ingress of moisture could have simply been from an over zealous wash from the dealer before you got the car.
I had it in my fog lamps for a day or so after my car was serviced. They gave it a wash and I bet they used a pressure washer.
This is a good excuse for a pic of mine, and I have to say you made the right choice of colour !
