Just noticed today that I have a crack on the drivers side eyebrow 
I noticed mist within the eyebrow section a couple of weeks back but ignored it thinking that it will go away - now it is cracked
Would I need a whole new headlight unit? I have the adaptive xenons and am sure this has something to do with the mist inside the light but how would I explain this to my dealer!!!?? I'm sure they'll blame the mist on the crack and not the other way round...
Can anyone suggest anything - me depressed

Have you tried raw rump steak
Only joking sorry to hear that, sounds like a good excuse to replace the set with the retro fit LCI, when they come available.

That's great news
So they did replase the whole cluster?
Did it crack do to a stone or something, or did it crack do to tension.
You didn't take a pic of the crack, did you?

No worries now. No leaks, just time to enjoy your car and have fun driving it.

The headlight already was misted and the day it snowed here I noticed the crack I am not sure if it was a heat/cold thingy or a stone crack but the crack was just one straight line from the top of the light to the bottom so I doubt it was a stone crack.
