Headlight lenses - replacement?

rstoughy · 22-03-2010, 06:57 PM

Is it not something to do with the Xenons burn a std lense or something like that??

Might be talking a load of pi$h but sure i heard something along those lines.

Mine need done as well so will keep an eye on the thread

Xenons if anything will run cooler, something like 35w vs 100w so not sure!

BMW dealer reckons it's doable so ordered a couple in, will let you know how I get on

Allegedly these are the same part:

948BM0090HEADLAMP LENS-LH BOSCH
948BM0100HEADLAMP LENS-RH BOSCH

From http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ But don't hold me to that.

Or you can get them from BMMiniparts.com but they don't actually list them... you have to give them the last 7 digits of the BMW part numbers and request a quote, they are a few quid cheaper than the BMW dealer.

Hope this helps matey, I'll dig out the part numbers if you need em.
