Headlight mist

Dam light keeps misting up, sometimes it's clear, next its misted up. Why ? Can't see any cracks on the lense

Had this on my old F10, procedure is to drive the car around with the service cap removed to air out. More than probable it will come back, had mine replaced under good will and paid £200, new xenon lamp is about £1500 I recall

This will work...But you have to be careful when it gets into winter months...There will come a point that the condensation will remain and if not resolved it could affect the various light modules which will be an additional and expensive cost on top of the already expensive headlights
