Condensation in e92 headlight

[NB92325]

So this seems to be a common issue, and I've taken a hairdryer to the headlight (LCI) on my e92 and left the top cover off on a hot day which cleared it all up. But when washing the car or if it rains the condensation comes right back on the driver side headlight.

Is there no way of keeping moisture out of the unit as I can't think that it's actual water ingress- it's condensation. But the other light has none of this.

My bit of research has shown it's unlikely that it can be fixed. But replacing the headlights is beyond my means right now so hence the question.

there is two cups at the back of your headlights if i'm not mistaken, to open to access the bulbs, make sure your rubber seals on the cup side is still present inside the cup, on your fender inner side also make sure the access plate or whatever it is called is closed, ( it is the one to reach the outer cup for headlight ) if both the cups is sealing properly , your headlight might be cracked somewhere and water gets in.

Also check if the the little breather caps are not squished or missing.... They look like L pieces made of rubber

Any idea where I find these on LCI headlights? I can't find an example online and am clueless otherwise

The easiest way is to physically remove the headlight off the car. It's not the most difficult thing to do but that one last e30 torx is literally in the middle of the light and attached to the chassis. I tried searching online for you and didn't come across any images
