Hello everyone,

 

Anyone know if the 2014 Edge headlight has a vent hole?

 

Recently developed a condensation issue in one headlight only. Can't seem to make it go away.

 

There is a "rectangle" right above/next to the main headlight cover, which is a one-way vent. Supposed to let the moist air out (think of moisture as a pressure) but prevent air from entering. Usually driving with your headlights on will produce enough heat to dry out the fixture.

 

Others that have had similar problems, replaced this vent and used a hairdryer to dry out the interior. 

 

Another possibly is the seal around the two halves of the headlight 

has cracked and is letting moist air in. Fix is to run a bead of clean sealant over the joint that connects the two haves.
