i got a brand new e92 m-front from tischer (bought the kit) and my driver side fog light gets condensation when it rains and ive had the fog lights on. passenger side doesnt do this. im thinking about drilling a small vent hole in the foglight but im not sure if it has to be in a certain spot or angle.

can anyone help me? or, better yet, does anyone have a better solution?

im running HID bulbs and i think the hassle of bringing my car to the dealer for warranty (removing traces of HID, dropping car off, losing it for a week, etc) makes for my own DIY a better fit for me. thats assuming they'll even warranty it. i dont think its the seal at the bulb because my passenger side doesnt condensate.

what do i dooooo

bump for not knowing where to drill?

Don't drill holes!!! I was in the same boat as you! The condensation will go away over time. I put my Msport front bumper on , drove to the power wash bay and noticed condensation on both of my fog lights immediately after washing! The condensation would go away over time but would come back whenever it rains or I washed my car. This lasted for about 1 month. For some reason or another the condensation did not return and I still use the power wash bay frequently. Weird???Yes, but no more condensation.

might wanna check. dont know about e90, but my previous cars had special hole with a rubber loop so that water stays out....all i know is that condensation is obviously not normal. i had condensation on my m3 side markers and dealer replaced both.

maybe its just water from rain, not condensation, in which case seals are bad.

Has anyone else experienced this or heard of it happening to someone else? Condensation right out the box?
