Increasing styling features for automotive headlamps speed up the focus of understanding condensation at inner surfaces. Water vapor condensation on the inside surface of the headlamp lens is an essential factor that affects secure front view and headlamp life. One of the headlamps of automobile which is one of the most popular in Korea was chosen for the present analysis. In the basis of the experimental data of automobile given by a manufacturer, boundary conditions were defined and free convection of the air inside the headlamp and radiation from the bulb to the other surfaces are considered. As a result, temperature distribution of the inside surface of the headlamp lens are approximately the same as the experimental result.
