Thought I'd just post a few pic's of my Aston I took this weekend when I decided to have a blast to North Wales, Started at Matlock In Derbyshire where The roads where brilliant hardly any traffic although a bit icy when I was going along the A54 above Buxton. I ended up heading to Llandudno and through the 3 tunnels on the A55(couldnt resist) and then heading down the A5 to Llangollen which is a brilliant bit of road (Especially when the Scamera Van's arent out) and also drove up the Horse Shoe pass. I did the return journey and had the biggest grin on my face all weekend...

Excellent pictures and superb landscape.
I can see you have the same problem as me regarding mist in the front lights. I have had HWM look at it and change the membrane behind the lens but to no avail so I have given up on the subject - however I still cannot understand why a 10 grand focus with clear lenses does not mist up when my DB9 does.

with regards to the condensation, there is a solution, nissan discovered the same issues with its 300zx car years ago in its headlights under testing, the solution was two silicon tablet discs in each light cavity, solved it instantly.

i bought some from japan over the net and fitted them in mine , hense no more condensation

Plastic,

I have tried to search the net for anything remotely like "silicon tablet discs" and nothing that I could remotely put behind the headlights comes to mind. Could you give some further guidance/reference?

They normally use silica gel, which absorbs the moisture!

Used to be an issue on the early DB7s until they routed the aircon through the lenses.

Exactly. They did that on the Vanquish as well but on the DB9 there is a cloth membrane behind the headlamp clusters - but that does not really do the trick.

I have the same problem with my N400 - is it also common with the V8 Vantage or just mine ?
