Headlight lenses - replacement?
Afternoon guys,
My headlights are stonechipped and having just had a respray and new bumper, would like to sort these out. Does anybody know if the lenses on CSL Xenons can be replaced? Found a lot of info mainly based in the states regarding replacing lenses but can't work out if we can do ours... RealOEM lists: 63128382191 and 63128382192 but a google finds sites like this: http://www.bmwpartsweb.com/BMW-Parts...D-DDD4270.aspx Which say "Not for Xenon" Anyone?

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

Just been down to have a look....
Mine aren't that bad, but its one of those things that annoys me (along with plenty of other little bits on the car!)... so think I will get some ordered in anyway. To remove: Take screw out to remove side repeater. There is a clip on the side of the headlight. 3 clips on top 1 on the other side 2 clips either side of the piece of trim underneath the light, pull out trim a couple of inches 3 clips underneath the light Then it will just pull off! A bit fiddly at first, but once you've done it once the other will be easy. Last edited by mole; 22-03-2010 at 09:58 PM. |
