You could try tischer for around 400 bucks, or posting in the for sale section with a WTB might get more responses (if you haven't already).

thanks for the info.

I was in a shopping center and it began to pour really strong and were i was parked the roof created like a drip that was hitting the light with a strong force. when I got to the car I didn't think nothing of it, the light looked fine but the next day when it rained again and i was walking to my car i noticed that the driver side (were the water was hitting) had water inside!I'm only guessing that this is what happened. I've had my HIDs since I got the car and I've had no problem. im furious you have no idea. I just want to go an upgrade to xeons but I will never forgive myself if I spend so much money on lights.

don't get xenon, you'll be happy with LCI halo.
I am very please with it.
good enough with white color H7 bulbs in the low beam for now

besides, I am keeping the car for another year or 2 then will change to E92 with OEM xenon.

saving money for the future.

It's an LCI car, which means I'm sure it's still under factory warranty. Why not get it replaced for free?!?!

actually, it loos like it needs some silicone seleant to fix it.. I will try that before I buy a new headlamp that might have the same problem.

Update: I purchased some clear silicone sealant and applied some over the top of the headlamp were both pieces meet and that’s it! No more condensation! whoohooo!!!

Has anyone here have experienced this with the LCI or the pre-LCI models?


Thanks again for everyone that provided info.


update #2

FAIL! a bit still gets in. I will have to remove the bumper to get the headlight out and do the seal all around the headlight to see if that fixes it. If not it looks like I will be buying a new headlight.. so mad! so Sad! lol

dam mission. all this effort and money can be going to a few more mods that I want to do!
