Just saying hi here from Sweden (with a little issue)

Hi there MiniOwners

I've been looking in your forums for the last couple of weeks.
I find it very interesting and helpful. I've personally found many answers and solutions for different kind of stuff.

Most of all, all of you seem very nice and helpful and looking forward to share my opinions with you.

Here is my 2008 MC i bought for everyday use. On the picture it just got bonnet stripes and black jack roof decal. Both done by a friend in 2.5 hours. Just need to pick up my union jack rearview mirror tomorrow, from BMW, and maybe find some cool checks on the side for my MC.

I have a question though.
I started to notice after i washed my car, that my right parkinglight/foglight (actually both because 30 percent of the lamp is parking light and rest is fog light, but you propably know that) has dew, mist, condensation, i dont know what you call it, sorry - But i hope you can see what i mean.

I've tried cleaning the bulb with a thin screwdriver wrapped in a cloth, but after some time, the dew appears again. When i light up the fog lights, the dew disappears, but it appears again some time after. The dew in the parking light wont go away, because i have LEDS in them, so i think they dont warm, thats why.

Things like that annoys me

What could be a good solution?

Regards here from Sweden

Some people have had cracks in the lens or in the back of the housing causing it to build up moisture. Get it replaced with your warranty.
