BMW G20 Condensation / water droplets in Headlamp

Hi

I have owned a year old G20 for a month. It rained 5 days ago for the first time since ownership. I noted misting and water droplets inside my nearside headlamp. Over the weekend I attempted to clear this with a hairdryer on the outside of the lens, on four occasions. Each time it took 20 mins to clear all signs of water and misting. Within a couple of hours the headlamp would fog up again.

Although it is improving as each day goes by, I still have moisture and droplets inside the headlight 5 days on.

I have made several half hour journeys with the headlights on but still not cleared.

Is there anything I can do or check?
Is this normal?

Also having the same issue with my G20 330 m sport, although mine isn’t drying out after 2 weeks. Did you get an answer to this? Booked into the dealer this week. Only had it 2 months

For those of you experiencing this problem, do you have the laser headlamps, adaptive LED, or something else?
