The silvering corrodes and comes away from the plastic case. I think this then affects the seal, but I've never taken mine out to look. Have look when they are dryer though - you should be able to clearly see the mess inside. I may try my hand at refurbing mine as in the link above...
I refurbed mine and they dont seem to be leaking anymore.
by the looks of it when I split the fogs, the chrome coating corrodes from the outside & comes away from the ally rear casing, this then lifts the sealer between the casing & the clear plastic front thus letting water in
Hope this helps

As I've pointed out before these fogs are a c**p design and not fit for purpose. Never had this problem on my Series 1 round fogs and I suspect all those with Z4 pre-facelift round fogs havn't had this problem. They should have been subject to a BMW recall and replacement since judging by this forum and other Zeds that I have seen far too many have failed.
