Default Warranty Query???

Right I went through a pretty big puddle in the Focus yesterday. I noticed today the N/S Headlight was full of condensation. So whipped it off and got the hairdryer on it to clear it up, this seemed to be a success minus a few dried water stains on the inside of the lense.

Put the light unit back on fired the car up and switched the lights on, 5min later it was full of condensation again. Needless to say im pretty pist off about this and dont really want to be forking out for a new unit or opening the thing up to dry it out and clean the inside of the lense.

The car is a 2009/09 can anyone tell me if this will be covered by warranty?

Yeah most likely will be covered mate, say its a faulty seal in the headlight unit and make sure all the covers on the back are clipped in fully, and like ya say make sure, its not been modified with different bulbs etc.....good luck!
Cheers, Neil
