The new generation of lighting components with clear lenses gives people the opportunity to see the technology inside the headlamp. In fact it is not so easy to give a clear vision in every situation. A big problem for lighting systems with clear lenses is dew and dust. When dew appears on the lens of a headlamp or rearlamp system, the typical technical design is destroyed. Another problem for the design with clear lenses is dust. Not only technology is shown, either dust. Dust can be seen on blanc surfaces and it will stay on the lens itself because of electrostatic charge on the plastics. Such an ugly appearance will create more and more complaints of the customers. To get a better result of reduction dew, new methods of ventilation are being developed. Antifogging coatings are another possibility to minimize dew on the clear lenses. A third chance to reduce dew on the lenses is tightening the component. If nearly no moisture is transported into the headlamp or rearlamp system, the problem of dew will not appear.
