I would expect the engineers who came up with active steering, DSC, I-drive and the M5 to be able to design a lighting unit in such a way that the heat gets out and the water doesn't get in. I think they did.
Anyways, it's "fixed" on yours, so be happy, there are thousands of other BMW's whith this "problem".

Nope, they didn't. And it's not water coming in, that would be real bad.

I don't want to flog this topic to death but in my case it wasn't moisture from the air but droplets forming immediately after washing the car with a Kaercher jet wash so I think there must have been a bad seal. Maybe this is what Manilae60 has too yet were assuming it's the more minor issue
and yes I'm happy
now if only I can get rid of the window antitrap message and get my bluetooth to work with my Blackberry again I will be a truly happy bunny.

If you had an E39 then yes. Very easy to do - not everything was necessarily improved from E39 to E60...
(last sentence edited after I re-read your sig - it's clearly an E60)

Then I agree, in your case there was a defect.
dlevi67 allready came to the right conclusion in the previous post.
We were talking about two different things here.
