I can't even seem to completely remove the moisture even if i heat the headlight up or if I remove the cap at the top of the headlight to help...When its warm, the moisture simply disappears but then re-appears when the temp drops at night or if it rains again
I am assume the crack is where the water ingress is coming from.. Other then clear tape to help seal the crack does anyone know of any potential fixes?
If it is infact the crack that's letting water in I know this is going to cost me around 3k to repair and won't be covered under warranty so looking for any potential solutions that I can try as 3k is a lot of money for a new headlight!!!

You could try covering the whole headlight with a tailored self adhesive plastic cutout specially to protect F10 M headlight from impacts to a point, which would seal the crack. Have a pair somewhere which I haven't fitted yet.
