E46 m3 fog lamp

[youdsy]

Hi all

Just a quick question with regards to the front fog lamps. The drivers side lamp is full with condensation and was wondering what is the best way to rectify this? I just took the lamp out from the front bumper and it seems that it is a sealed unit and if this is the case I will have to buy a new unit I'm assuming? I understand that's this is a common problem and hoping that there is a simple solution.

Thanks in advance.

Not had an e46, but had similar so I'd leave it in the airing cupboard to dry out; then see if you can tell where the water's getting in. Some sealant might fix it.

Drill a small hole in the backing plastic to let it vent in the future.

You're obviously not driving around with them on constantly like the manual advises.

Took mine off as I never use them. Anyway they got in the way of the brake ducts for track work!
