525iSE

I turned on my xenons to take some pics today and found that my left side's xenon, seems to be all fogged up and the other side is clear like when i first got it but half of it is fogged up as well. I can't reali describe it and a picture can't show the difference, but its the inside projector lens thats fogged like someone who wears glasses and just got out of a cold car and his lens fogged up. Any advice, will BMW replace it? is it some kind of damage I did on my own? Please comment. Thanks.

Be careful. The Xenon is a high valtage device! YOu need to get a professional to look at it that understands the electrical.

But the xenon lights and adaptive headlights works fine its just the lens thats fogged up. So do you think that I can get BMW to replace both headlights since they're messed up for no apparent reason?

We face this all the time; especially after some heavy downpour or a good and proper wash. We call it condensation. There's nothing wrong with your lights. The fog will clear up within a day or so.

I confirm this, but usually the mist will disapear after a whilest driving, but in dry conditions, of course.

I would wait a couple of days.. if the affected headlamp is still foggy, I would take it to the dealer. Chances could be a small leak throught the seal. If so, BMW will only change the affected headlamp

I get the condensation on the overall headlight lens, but its the xenon projector cap/lens thats fogged. But I'm not sure which one you're actually referring to. Anyways, I drove a day dry and a little more at night dry yesterday and its still fogged up.
