Turn Signal Problems of BMW 528

Condensation in headlights, common in the vehicle with now fix. Water seeps through and destroys electronics, including leveling, adjusting, and turn signals. Each time it rains it becomes worse and makes visibility difficult. When the vehicle was bought it was stated to the sales department and was told it is no issue. Seen many other 5 series with same issue.

I keep getting warnings that the head lamp, running lamps are malfunctioning. I took it in for service and found exposed wires and was told this is a fire hazard resulting in the headlight wiring insulation flaking off and leaving copper wire exposed and wires are touching, uninsulated wires. Wires are shorting out the lights, burning bulbs and cause malfunctions in the headlights, turn signals, parking lights, and daytime running lights and is a fire hazard.

Had to replace a headlight bulb and a turn signal bulb. When opening the headlight assembly to access the two bulbs much of the insulation on the wiring inside the headlight assembly just crumbled away into very tiny pieces and dust, which fell into the bottom of the assembly. It's as if the wire insulation has dried out and failed in the eight years since the car was manufactured. Now most of the wiring is just bare and exposed. The wiring can't be accessed from outside and the headlight assembly does not come apart. I am very concerned about the wiring short circuiting and possibly causing a fire in the headlights. I'm 68 years and have owned 13 different cars from american and german manufacturers. I have never encountered anything like this. I think there is a manufacturing defect in the headlight assembly wiring. I contacted BMW about this and they would not do anything about this problem. I think this may be a significant defect that could affect the safety of the car. I have done some searching on the internet and have found that this is a very common problem in this series of BMW cars. BMW won't aknowledge a problem and won't provide any assistance other than to suggest that I buy new headlight assemblies from them which were made with the same poor quality wiring.
