Might be worth saying if its pre or post face lift you need. Before you go to the expense of changing your headlights have you changed your rear covers? Apparently they are the source of most headlights condensation. Might be worth changing them first, its a damn site cheaper.

Unless its got a crack in it ,i would suggest the rear covers are at fault the rubber seals perish over time

Ok last week ballast went so whe change new one ,and after one day there was a moisture in headlight and another one went, then i bought one more we put silicon around the rear cover and fit new one ( of course we dried headlight out ) but after two more days moisture in headlight again and its stop working . Yes my model is 2003 pre face lift 2.5 l . I will try to call them number tkank you MARKPLANT . Im thinking is it posible to change from xenon to non xenon. Headlight more cheaper. I phone bmw and the price was 761 plus vat bit crazy

Is this effecting both headlights? If so have they been cut open to change to clear indicators etc? Its unusual for both to be effected as the same time, unless either the rear covers have been off (bulb changes etc) or they have been opened up to mod

This. Had the same issue myself and new rear covers sorted out my issue. Just make sure you dry the headlight out properly.

Does anyone now is it possible to downgrade xenon to halogen headlights . Because i find few for sale from face lift models with clear indicator now xenon?

New (used) lights cost a fortune. If I was you I would get them off the car and remove all bulbs/covers and leave them in the house for a couple of days to dry out properly. Then while still in the house refit all bulbs and new covers before refitting to the car. If there are no leaks on the units themselves this should cure the issue.

I spoke with one guy he is mechanic for bmw and he works private as well, so he said he can fit non xenon ones face lift with clear indicator, only i need lights module witch i have removed from 2006 z4 cost me 20 pounds and headlights witch i find in germany they breaking 2006 model(rhd) and it will cost me 500 euros for 2 of them with dellivery + plus cost to fit them. i was staing in the garage for 4 hours watched all the job how they been dried out and sealed. So it looks like its deff not back cover problem there might be crack on the headlight itself. Or another option is to fit aftermarket non xenon with angel eyes black inside from ebay 460 pounds
