Head lights issues

[leba0070]

Hey, I'm new to this but I'll make it quick.

So, I own a 2020 Seat Leon FR, 5F generation, with multi-LED headlights. In the past few days, I've had some problems with it. It all started when some condensation got into the headlight due to rainy weather. The car showed me multiple faults like range control fault or signal not working. Sometimes it shows vehicle light error, and the headlights went off just for a moment. But after restarting the car after a while, it went back to normal. Do you guys know what might be the problem?

Probably just the water shorting something out, then when it dried it went away. Will probably be ok if it's gone away now.

should i be scared of the circuit shorting out or do i need to do something to dry it ou ?

No it sounds like it is already dry. I think you will be ok

I had this issue also... But ended up having to replace the whole headlight unit because when it eventually failed it also started affecting the other headlight

Did your whole headlight stop working? And did you have to code the new headlight in to the car and what did you pay on the headlight?

The headlight with condensation did stop completely, but the other ended up being OK once the broken one was unplugged.

I bought a breakers one off ebay for £600. I made sure it had complete and unbroken mounting clips and the ballast attached.

I don't believe any coding was required though I could be wrong as I had a local mechanic perform the replacement.

I've also got the condensation and faulty light problem. Currently the offside one has full beam stuck on, the DRL is flashing and no indicator. On Weds, it was fine when I popped out but started playing up on the way back. Flickering on/off like a low hz strobe. Yesterday it didn't work at all.

Same thing happening with mine was okay for about a week just the error messages but full headlight was working now its stopped working completely. When getting a new headlight do the part number for the headlight have to match with the current headlight in my vehicle does anybody know?

Worked normally yesterday when I started it to move it. (Been sitting on drive since 3rd Jan). Then it went faulty again but not the same as before. Full beam no longer on. It's a different combo each time.
