Hi guys, I Have a build up of condensation in my front head lights and would like to get rid of it. Was wondering what if anything I need to do!?

This happens on E36 BMWs a lot. You can either take the cover off the rear of the light to let some warm air in / drill holes in the back of the casing (I wouldn't). Or see if there is a seal which has deteriorated and replace with new. A few sachets of Silica Gel in the back of the light wouldn't hurt either.

Hi, There is obviously air getting into the sealed light, you need to make sure all seals are tight and in good condition, once sorted, turn on the light and the heat from the bulbs will dry out the condensation in no time.

Cheers,

Michael.
