Bought 12 Audis in the last 10 years. Never had dumb issues. This car is 2 months old. Meh, so annoyed.

What the fog

If you had lasers, that would dry them.

Seriously, the people that I've seen reporting it, are getting them replaced under warranty. Get it done, though, I don't know how much these cost, but the Lasers are $8,000 a set.

I'm annoyed that it's happening at all. I also can't stand how terrible my dealerships are here.

Yeah, it's definitely annoying. I've seen probably half a dozen, posted on this forum, and the resolution is they've replaced the headlights.

Seeing a lot of G8x cars with this.

Do you happen to have PPF or any type of film applied to the headlight?

No. Went to dealer and they said there are flaps or vents inside the headlight to keep this from happening. According to them I only need those replaced.

I'm hoping they're right about the fix being broken flaps or vents inside the headlight assembly because they told me a new headlamp assembly is at least 4-5 weeks out.

If something is broken inside the headlight, it should just be a replacement. It's a sealed headlight. Yours still works, just let them order a new one and wait for it. It's not like the car isn't drivable. Hopefully it's just an outside vent.

Similar boat. Noticed after my first wash. I will point it out once I do my break in service. 1100 miles to go

BeamerBoomer · 06-30-2022, 05:43 AM

As far as I know, the BMW headlights incl. these ones are not sealed and vent to the open. Visible water should come in only under harsh conditions, e.g. high pressure application. In any case, it should dry out with the next sunshine. I do not see that BMW would exchange a headlight bc of this. I experienced this once with my former F10 after an engine wash at the dealership. They sent me home, next day it was fine as they promised.
