Default I Got the S4 Finally!

So on the cold christmas eve I found myself as the new owner of the beautiful 05 dolphin grey audi S4. I am very happy with the car and I can't wait for the weather to get better so I can drive it more. The deal I got was unbelivable and color combination of the car left me no choice but to buy it.. I got it for $12,700 out the door after my trade($5,800).
Only thing bugging me is the condensation in the lights, it is really excessive.. I did not find this adjustment screw that has to be removed and lubed up, anyone have the picture?

I will post the pictures when the weather gets a little nicer, untill then merry christmas and happy new year to all! Looking forward to chatting away with everone on the forum..

You may want to wait until they dry out, I covered the adjuster in lithium grease, worked great

Default I don't think he needs to wait

the headlights are vented so it shouldn't make any difference...

Default ok, but if they are truly "vented" why does sealing the o-ring area stop the fogging

Wouldn't moisture enter thru the other openings just as easily as the adjuster o-ring area?

Default No. The water pools on top of the headlight housings when it rains

and runs right down the adjustment screw past the o-ring and into the headlight. The vents are on the back and aren't subject to the same standing water problem.
