    After driving through rain recently I noticed condensation inside one of the headlamp clusters (see photo). Although the mist subsequently evaporated, I am concerned about long term corrosion in the unit. My dealer has suggested that the issue might be caused by a disconnected "vacuum pipe". A certain amount of disassembly will be reqiured to access the headlamp unit, so I shall leave it to the dealer to look at this. Have any Portofino owners seen this issue before? Does anyone have a photography of this "vacuum pipe"? I had previously understood that these headlamp units were sealed.

    Yes, I’ve seen in my 2019 both head lights but intermittent, I havnt discussed with dealer yet.. Rear boot lid light is worse, booked for replacement under warranty.

    Similar phenomenon happens on mine, but I noticed that after driving without any rain, so I really can't explain it. I will ask the dealer next time and if it happens again i'll post pictures. It happens on both units, left and right. I've noticed it a few times now.

    My 2019 had condensation moisture in the rear bid light which the dealer replaced. All good so far after the replacement.
