leaking headlight, tailights on s4 1987

[newworld]

other s4 owners out there,after it rains/wash car, i see condensation on one headlight and both rear tailights. i pulled the tailights and water dripped out the vent hole, i also found water inside on the right corner rear of the trunk....is there something on this car, like sunroof drain etc or maybe seals etc that i should know about?

anyone also have the headlight condensation issue? and what did you do to solve the problem? thanks in advance i am just getting to know the car....1987 s4

There is a part related to the sun roof a plastic basin of sorts that is known to crack.

Headlights and taillights, just don't be too aggressive with the sideways water.

I have condensation in the left eye of the vehicle. Pee's me off. There is no rust whatsoever.

I imagine to get rid of it is to drive with your lights on for awhile.

I've got a little bit of water in one tail light. I think it comes in through a crack or some delamination of the lens plastic. Usually pull the light and dry it out every year - was going to put a small sack of silica gel within the housing at one stage - or try and seal it from the outside along the top of the plastic join.
