Has anyone had the dealers fix done for their headlights?

Has anyone had the dealers fix done for their headlights?

It has been very wet here lately and I've now had the lights in my V8 Vantage mist over entirely. Has anyone had their Aston Martin dealer attempt to remedy the misting headlight problem? If so, does it seem to help or does the problem persist? I know there is an official "fix" specified in a service bulletin, but it just seems to be a drying out process and application of some silica gel packs. I am actually quite upset about this as my original headlights did not have this problem. Unfortunately, these lights were a swap out from another car on the dealer lot after mine were damaged (aaargh). Let's say I pay the $5k out of my own pocket for new lights--there's still no guarantee that it won't happen again, right? Would AM warranty the replacement lights if they were purchased and installed by them?

PeterW is infamous around these parts
Man, sorry to hear all the problems you had with V8V. I noticed a little mist in my headlight as well, and liked to know if there's a fix also.
