Its been raining here all week and today I noticed condensation in the headlamps also, on both headlamps on the side where the parking light and side blinkers are. Glad to hear its normal. Weird since this is the first time I had it in a car. My MINI also has Xenon lights and it doesnt happen there. The bottom part on the second and third pic seems to be almost like dropplets of water...

It was raining here today too, and it happened on mine as well.
But it was gone when I was back home, after having the lights on a while. No problem.

I have the same problem and also had this happen to my MY02 530. I found it was usually on the plastic cover in from of the Xenons. I thought about taking my car in, glad to know this is a normal occurrence.

Hi,
It's seems to be a free feature you get with xenons. I saw a mag article about someone complaining about condensation on an X5 with xenons. Breather holes in the light housing allow moisture in was the answer. If it gets any worse, pop in a few goldfish. It'll make a cool goldfish bowl.
