Headlight Condensation
Hi to all!
How do I get rid of the headlight condensation build up? The condensation was on the lower half of the driver's side. Any input is pretty much appreciated. Thank you!

Water most likely entered through the perimeter seals on the headlight lenses. You might try re-sealing with a bead o silicone. It was a problem on my 05 545. It only occurred after a high pressure "No Touch" car wash. There is actually a vent tube in the light assembly that can be seen in the lower inside of the lens. The moisture goes away with the headlights on.
I my case, I fixed the problem by upgrading the 05 Sport with a 2010 M Sport.

i've also seen cracks around where the little electrical plug is on top of the headlight. the plug is for the led eyebrow. take the connector out and look for cracks around the opening.
