  • Learn how to remove the moisture / condensation from a BMW lights headlights. This is a BMW 3 series E90 headlamp and this fix took me about 30 mins in total. You will need the use of a hairdryer.

    Thia is a simple and effective remedy, I love its simplicity. I have a 2010 3series E91 it takes 2.5 - 3 hours for a professional company to fix the issue (if it is a faulty seal) They have to take a panel off underneath then remove the front bumper in order to remove and reseal the headlamp. £200+

    I did exactly the same but put small packs of Cilicia gel behind the holder once dried out.

    I just turn on the lamps and hit it with a hair dryer for 20 minutes. Always does the trick until you actually take out the light and fully seal it back.

      Commenter McCommentFace yeah my issue was caused by the bulb being fitted incorrectly and the cap not fitted at all. So the moisture got in after my car was jet washed. After doing this the moisture never came back as it wasn’t a sealed issue. Cheers for watching.

    Hi mate, I used this advice as one of my lights had lots of condensation. Had a look with the wheel turned as you mentioned, and the cover for this light was missing. Any ideas where I can get a replacement part? Thanks

      You need to try and have an outlet for the moisture. Is their a cap you can remove?

      @@bradleybraaten112 No problem. Also if you have a slight leak in the seal it’s probably going to come back. The guy in this video got moisture in the lens due to a cap being left off after a bulb change.

    This doesn't solve the problem.. Just leave the rubber covers off the back of the light problem solved works every time.

      @pauldoingstuff496  3 роки тому +2

      v innie that didn’t work for me. In fact it was because a rubber cover came off how water got in the lens after a car wash. After using this technique it never came back so I disagree. It worked perfectly in this instance.

    • @beigefox6579
      @beigefox6579 2 роки тому +2

      Please dont leave the rubber off permanently. You only take off the rubber for it to dry faster in the sun. If you forget to put it back, more water will enter into the headlight next time it rains
