few hours ago left my car at the dealer, again.. and told them that the module replacement might only the effect of the real problem and told them to check further on this issue.

it is such a common problem and no one is able to find effective solution for it. I have faced it many a times and it realy troubles

same issue, water on the driver side (right hand side) and only near the indicators, my car is booked in dealer agree this should not be the case, question did the water eventually disappear if so how long after?

This happened with my 135i when it was fairly new. They promised it would go away and not come back. They were right, it never came back.

when I read this post, I check mine as soon as possible. you know what happen? yes, there is water inside headlight after i drive at night. it always happens. i do not why, it always appears after driving. i am wondering, right now, do i need to report this to the dealer?. my car is like 6 months years old and now it has 2600 miles. both right and left are water inside headlight after i am driving at night. last but not least, i live in Seattle right now. it is around 15-20 degrees celcius at noon and below 15 degrees celcius at night.

Wow, that sucks. Don't let a dealer tell you that "it will go away". Water inside a headlight is a quick way to speed up the process of a headlight losing its sharp clarity, i.e getting "yellowy" and fuzzy over time.

I had a Chevy Malibu that had this issue and GM replaced both headlights. It would be insanely unacceptable if BMW did anything but.

You should have the dealer look at it so it will be on record.

Mine was never replaced and simply took about couple of months for the mist/moisture never re-appeared.

how can i show this to the dealer if there is no water inside the headlight? because it usually happens after raining.Do i just need to report this to the dealer just in case if it happens again?

I didn't have to do anything other than tell them.

There is no conceivable way I would have been able to do it myself - it's a sealed unit and was on the lens, not the lightbulb.

Many say this is normal.
I think maybe it is normal, my car headlights is 6 months old now and it has never come back.
This has also happened to some of the HK F30 members too and after a few months of driving it had gone and never came back.

i just sent the dealer the information about the foggy headlight. Right now, I am still waiting for their opinion about this headlights. Since the headlight just got changed yesterday, I am really suprised about this. if they ask me to use my car for months again, I can accept that and if it does not have any change at all. i will ask them to change the headlight again. this problem happens to F30? woww, is something wrong with bmw?

They made a bad mistake in designing the lights with open holes in the bottom.
My 2 old E60 did not have this issue.
