DayMaker OEM Headlamp Fogging
Anyone run into this, possibly found a fix?
This so bad that you can't even tell that the light is On when riding... If you turn off all the other lights. Note that a couple of hours ago, before going for a ride, the lamp was clear. It did the fogging while riding in 70* temps, cooling to low 60s at dusk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This lamp set is the factory setup from a 2014 FLHTK.

No clue. My Daymakers are clear as a bell. Hate to say it, but maybe stop by the dealer?

Are there little rubber vent purge thingys on the back side of the lamp bowl/reflector (like on regular headlamp) that allow the housing to vent/breathe out moisture? Perhaps there is a failure between the lens to reflector seal allowing too much into the housing.
Have seen these kind of issues with modular incandescent headlamps. This kinda stuff gets expensive. Sorry Ricky...

My auxiliary lights fogged up on my 2011. Incandescent type, pulled off bike, removed the blub, stuck one of those moist lense cleaner wipes in there, rubbed it around with a piece of dowling and they were good or better than new in clarity.
Well, you should remove the wipey when you are through rubbing it...

Added note: Do it for a few days while on a business trip and then remove before flight.

Well they might be in warranty if they were still in Chip's bike.
Certainly not warranted in mine. Is there a way for me to make a warranty claim? I have read a thread or two that mentions this and apparently there was a 'revision' (which is an incredibly ironic word choice) of the units and the seals were improved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My headlight is fine, but my Daymaker LED passing lamps tend to fog up from time to time. Not sure how to fix that, or even why it happens.
