A headlamp assembly having a mechanism for reducing water based contamination is disclosed. A headlamp assembly includes a lens affixed to a housing having an inner surface and an outer surface, a wire heating element embedded within the inner surface of the lens, wherein the wire heating element is electrically coupled to a circuit board. An encapsulation layer is disposed over the wire heating element and a thermistor is affixed to the lens for sensing when the lens reaches a predetermined condition. The thermistor is electrically coupled to the circuit board and a micro-controller is provided for activating or deactivating the wire heating element based on the predetermined condition sensed by the thermistor.
