I've just noticed one of mine doing the same - any ideas welcomed...

 

Take the fronts off and reseat, making sure there's a good seal.

The glass and reflector are sealed together - the condensation gets in through the bulb hole. Unfortunately it's an unfortunate by product of the heat/damp/cooling cycle a lamp goes through and not much you can do about it.

As Nick says you can separate the casing/glass and dry it out with a hair drier, but it will probably come back.

you may never get rid of it until..

I went through 3 COMPLETE sets of lenses and two new lenses on one side on my MY98 but to no avail... Prodrive didn't give a hoot!! Still anyhow the dealer changed the casing as well (keeping the lenses) and hey presto fixed. They think that there was a faulty set of cases that were warped therefore not providing a good seal...

 

thanks fizz, i'm off back to dealer before waranty expires

If out of warranty, how about silicon sealant?
