Condensation inside LCI adaptives?

STK · 10-26-2017, 09:15 PM

When I picked up the beast there was some condensation/fogging in the inner corners of the front lights. The genius said it wasn't uncommon. Anyone else experience this? Is this an issue?

I haven't had the problem with this car, but I have with others. It's not uncommon in cold or high-humidity conditions. If turning the headlights on doesn't burn it off or you have water collecting in the bottom of the housings, then you have a problem for the dealer.

Happened to my old m135i. They changed the whole light under warranty

Mine were like that for a few days after collection. Problem has resolved itself after a few drives with the lights on it seems

It's normal. My new 2018 headlights fogged up a bit in the corners after washing, but quickly cleared when sitting in the sun. I have this same issue on my 2013 X3 as well. Typically happens when hitting a warm light with cold water out of the hose.
