Removing Condensation from Front Headlights
How to remove condensation from front headlights Many BMW X5 owners have experienced condensation in their front headlights at one time or another. If the vehicle is still under warranty then you can request that your dealer replace it at no charge. If, however, your X5 is out of warranty then here is a trick that worked well for me. First, remove the high beam socket from the headlight housing by twisting the socket and pulling it straight out. Use care not to touch the bulb, as the oils from your fingers could cause the bulb to fail prematurely. Next, place a wet/dry vacuum hose into the socket and form a tight a seal as possible. Allow the vacuum to run for as long as it takes to suck the moisture from the headlight housing. Be patient and let it run. I let it run for several hours and it did an excellent job of removing all of the moisture. Once all of the moisture is gone, simply reinsert the high beam light socket and you are all set. Others have tried using a blow dryer to eliminate the condensation, but I found that the method described above worked very well for me.
