I drilled some holes in my OEM lights after I fitted halos. Has worked a treat, never misted up since. The OEM lights already have holes in them but a few more done the trick.!!

That sounds interesting, did you take any pics mate?

There should be no reason to drill extra holes in the OEM lights, they each have two vents to the rear with little black, rubber 'periscopes' attached. See item 5 on the RealOEM diagram below.

Well I got the car on a ramp and removed the wheels. The splash panels removed and the backs of the light units are soaked. Now from removing my old ones I know they were dirty and damp! I checked all bungs and all are solid and in place, but when i removed them tere was water drops inside :x

Is this an issue with Z4 in that water comes up from the bottom of the car or am i missing some panels at the base of the car that should keep the lights dry?!

Do these look any different? Cheaper than the Mstyle version. Worth a go at this price.

I know they look alike but they can be supplied as either RHD or LHD I've actually had both types (installed the RHD ones). The cut off plate fitted to the projector lights have to provide a 'kick' up on on the UK passenger side (in the UK) for RHD and a 'kick' up on the UK drivers side (in Europe and the USA)

Does anyone have issues with water getting to back of headlights? Mine are always wet when it rains! Not sure if it's supposed to be a dry area?
