I just noticed that my passenger side headlight eyebrow had fog/mist along the eyebrow and the 5 LED.

Any idea to solve it?

Thanks

Just let it dry out.
I get fogging too in headlights during winter time when I wash the car in a hall and then suddenly bring it out to cold. It always dries out during time.

Fogging only when it rains and after car wash.
If the condition dry and ignite the headlight, should be no problem.

The headlight suppose to have circulation. Is it because of the circulation not enough that only condition to humid weather?

Sorry I don't know, I just let my headlights dry out whenever they get foggy. Some people here say that E60 headlights should not get fogged at all at any circumstances.

A co-worker of mine has an '05 530i and he's had moisture in the driver's side eyebrow for about a week now. not sure what the deal is as he's out of warranty.
