Rear light cluster condensation

Not the greatest issue in the grand scheme of things however; both of my rear light clusters have condensation, anyone experienced this? Worth pursuing under warranty?


Thanks

Had the same problem, seals replaced under warranty, however, they forgot to clear the condensation, so they had to do it again!!

Yep, I had both of mine replaced last winter! Just condensation mist is fine, but with water droplets like that they will replace them.

Definitely a warranty claim had my rear right done and looked just like this, they'll replace without issue as long as they get to see the condensation - maybe keep these photos to show them in case it's a sunny/warm day when you take it in for service!

Had both mine replaced under warranty last year. Absolutely no issue. As soon as dealer saw it, he said new clusters would be ordered for me. No issues since.

Mine is the same. It's booked in at the end of the month for that and the creaking doors. :-(
Might be in to Bmw quicker as my 330d this morning felt sluggish at low revs and their is a whooshing sound similar to a dump valve rather than the normal whooshing sound.
