has anyone had a problem with their fog lights misting up / condensation in them? my S has had them replaced once which seemed to cure the problem for a couple of months, but they have started to go again. my dealer did say they'd had a few customers mention it, so maybe its a batch of dodgy seals...

it's going in again next Fri to be looked at / new lights ordered again!

thanks for that! have just got back and they are going to contact MINI to see what they say, as they obviously don't want to replace them again if they are just going to do the same thing! just waiting to hear now
