Head light fog

On trip from south Florida to North Carolina noticed both headlights started fogging in same exact spot. 2021 f350 both headlights fogged in lower corners.weather dropped on the trip from upper 80’s to lower 30’s during time the fogging started. Back home digging seems to have gone away. Anyone else see headlight fogging yet ?

Normal. There is a weep hole in the fixture so it vents moisture and doesn't pop like a balloon when the headlights heat up. The scenario you describe is perfect for getting a little moisture up in there. As you saw, it will eventually go away on it's own. I haven't seen it on my new 2022 yet, but it will. My F-150 did it all the time. It comes and then goes away.

Nothing to worry about. It's working like it should.

I don't know the page number but I think the manual describes the phenomenon and states that it's normal. I did get the dealer to replace one for me under warranty on a 2020 because it seemed a little excessive in my case.

Seems the headlights would burn out or haze quicker with moisture being allowed into the housing.
