Symptoms

Moisture, condensation or fogging is visible inside one or both upper daytime running lights of the headlights.

It can be water getting in through a housing sealing fault (a defect) or natural condensation from temperature and humidity changes, for example after a car wash (not a defect). BMW explains it in its SIB 63 11 23.

Check for the garage

Ask the workshop to check whether the headlight leaks: if it does, it is replaced; if it is natural condensation, a drying box is fitted where applicable.
