Method and apparatus are disclosed for condensation detection for vehicle surfaces via ambient light. An example vehicle includes a side mirror including a front surface and a back surface, a front sensor adjacent the front surface for collecting a first ambient light intensity, a back sensor adjacent the back surface for collecting a second ambient light intensity, and an opaqueness detector that detects whether condensation is on the side mirror based upon comparing the first ambient light intensity and the second ambient light intensity.
