BMW X3 G01 X3M F97 X4 G02 X4M F98 X5 G05 X5M F85 X6 G06 X6M F86 Water Ingress Resolution
Is your G01, G02, G05, G06, F97, F98, F85 or F86 headlight suffering from...
These are the most common signs of water ingress in the BMW X3, X3M, X4, X4M, X5, X5M, X6, X6M headlight.
Water ingress is a widespread problem on G01, G02, G05 G06, F97, F98, F85 and F86 LED, adaptive LED, and laser headlights. It's typically caused by seal degradation - and once water gets in, it doesn't get better on its own.
What's included in the service
Every headlight follows our in house process which has been refined over thousands of headlights, regardless of headlight variant. Have a look at an overview of our process.
Thorough check of connectors, internal wiring harness, casing & lens for corrosion and damage.
We follow internal dealer documentation to identify and isolate the affected area. Throughout our experience, we've picked up on the common issues with these headlights. Our tests will confirm that the issue is what we suspect.
As long as there is no risk of components being submerged or currently exposed to water, we'll fully bench test the headlight with our in house equipment. If there is signs of current water or high levels of humidity within the headlight, we won't be able to carry this out due to risk of shorting out/damage to both our equipment and the headlight.
Once identified and confirmed that it is the common issue that we're seeing frequently, we'll do what dealer doesn't - we'll resolve the issue and stop the ingress issue.
When the repair is completed, we'll run our dealer level tests for an extended period of time along with our in house tests that have been refined over thousand of headlights to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
Full quality inspection, reassembly of external components, and functional verification sent to you before the headlight leaves us
From light misting to full condensed headlight lens - we repair any severity of water ingress.

How it works
Everything is booked in advance so we can guarantee turnaround times and availability. Get in touch first - don't just send headlights without a booking.

We check our calendar and schedule you in for exchange, fitting, or postal refurbishment - whichever suits your situation. A non-refundable 25% deposit secures your booking.
We assess your headlights, confirm the work to be carried out and flag any additional costs such as control units. We'll get your authorisation before proceeding.
Your headlights go through our full process. Once complete, we contact you with photos showing everything is fully completed and functional (where applicable).
Remaining balance is due once the work is complete. Collect your headlights or car from us, or we ship via DHL Express to mainland UK (including Northern Ireland).
If anyone else has previously attempted a repair on your headlights, you must let us know in advance. This will affect the scope and pricing of the service.
Turnaround times
~2 hrs
per headlight
Dropping the headlight off at KYCS Oldbury
1 day

Turnaround times are based on pre-booked appointments that have been booked in advance where the headlight condition matches what was discussed. If additional work is required upon assessment, turnaround times may be extended.
Shipping with DHL Express
Anything larger than 50x45x40cm will need a custom quote from DHL. We'll confirm all shipping details with you after booking.
Payment & how to order
All bookings are secured with a 25% non-refundable deposit, automatically applied at checkout. The remaining balance is invoiced once the work is complete.
Industry-leading coverage on Gxx X Series water ingress resolution
We stand behind our work. Our service comes with a 2-year guarantee on all services and workmanship as standard.
2-year guarantee on all refurbishment and repair work carried out by us
If we fitted your headlights, fitting issues must be raised within 7 days. After this, normal fitting charges apply
Cosmetic concerns must be raised within 72 hours
Warranty is not valid if products or services show signs of tampering, mishandling, mis-powering, reverse engineering, disassembly, installation error (if not installed by us), or if the vehicle is involved in an accident. Warranty will be voided if the vehicle is not fitted with the correct parts to match factory specification when not fitted by us. The warranty is for the purchaser only and is not transferable.
Full Symptom List
Depending on what your headlight variant is, you may have some or all of the failed functions and/or errors on the iDrive and instrument cluster.
Functional failures & symptoms
- Water ingress
- Heavy condensation & excessive misting on the inside of the headlight
- Angel eyes not working
- Eyebrow not working
- Indicator not working
- Adaptive not working
- Vertical aim not working
- Laser not working
iDrive & instrument cluster errors/warnings
- Side/daytime lights fault on the iDrive and instrument cluster
- Daytime/parking lamp malfunction on the iDrive and instrument cluster
- Turn indicator front failure on the iDrive and instrument cluster
- Adaptive headlights failure on the iDrive and instrument cluster
- Headlight vertical aim control failure on the iDrive and instrument cluster
- Headlight failure on the iDrive and instrument cluster
The Solution
As part of our refurbishment and repair service, we'll carry out the following:
- Inspect the headlight to ensure that there's no corrosion on the headlight plugs/sockets
- Pressure test the headlight to identify the source of the water ingress
- Dry the headlight out to remove all traces of water - additional time may be required if the headlight has a large amount of water within
- Repair and resolve the water ingress issue with an in house solution that we've created especially for this headlight variant
- Pressure test & water test the headlight to ensure that there isn't any water ingress in the future
If you have intermittent error codes on your iDrive for lighting system failure/adaptive system failure or the following exterior lights aren't constantly working (angel eyes, eyebrow, indicators), this typically points to a faulty water-damaged control module. Supply, fit, and coding isn't something that we offer for new/used modules currently, however we will be able to recommend a third party company who will be able to assist. This service does not include any exterior components such as the control units. Our repair process is to the bare headlight as outlined above. If your headlight is water damaged, multiple components are likely water damaged/corroded and might need replacing - our repair service does not include replacement electric components.
Commonly Water Damaged (External) Components
On the laser headlights, if the headlight is moved in such a way that a car wouldn't normally go through, this can run water into the laser element and may cause permanent damage. To reduce the risk of this happening, before the headlight is bought to us, it must be completely dried out before removal from the vehicle.
This is a generalisation, and components may or may not apply in your situation - if you'd like to have a chat to have a better understanding of what would more than likely be applicable in your case, please get in touch and we'll schedule a call with you.
