I think that was AchtungE60. He's down here in FL too, and had the same problem. If you can get to it early enough that appears to be a good solution.

Very interesting, just the left side has the problem so I added a piece of electrical tape. I checked the right side and it looks normal even after bending and twisting the wires a little.

^^that is odd. both of my headlights exhibited identical degradation in the wiring.

on a more positive note, UPS called me and my OE M Technic kit is supposed to show up to the house tomorrow. It sure is nice to spend money on fun things rather than headlights.

yes that was me. I used liquid tape. You can find it almot everywhere electrical tape is sold. you can use plastidip too since it's almost the same thing. i tried the electrical tape part but as soon as you touch any wires they start crumbling. I masked it all off so it didnt get into the lens and sprayed away. problem solved. this is a problem with the lights not weather. E85, E46, E39 with projectors never had this issue with the same environmental variables
