The dreaded headlight condensation problem
Unbelievable how many water related problems a car which was 98k when new can have!
So I definitely have an excessive amount of condensation in my headlight and its not really clearing when driving with lights on. Lens has had a crack for a few years but the problem has only started in the last week... Think this will hurt in terms of replacement headlight in my pocket because they will prob say the problem is the crack as opposed to anything else where I may be able to claim on warranty but I supposed I better do it before any of the modules behind the headlight get damaged ANyone else have a similar problem? |

Is your car outside as we have had a lot of rain over a long period which may have made the issue worse |

Take the xenon cap off the top of the headlamp and drive it around for a few dry days, if the codensation comes back after you dry it you have a leak, I had this on my F10 530d, ignored the issue and also killed the control unit, almost £1k to put right, thankfully got a contribution from BMw GB under extended warranty
