cool. if that doesnt work, then, i dont know what to suggest.

it works on most the cars i have worked on, which most people know about. the oven trick, but i perfer to use a heat gun.

How about opening the head light, and paiting the orange part inside silver. =)

if it was that easy to open up the headlight, then it would be that easy to just take the reflector out.

if i can actually seee a bmw head light i can figure something out.

but sealing the head light should be no problem. as long as you know how to apply the sealer, and what kind to use. =)

ive cleared lights on honda's only, and they seal it back up with silicon. but i used a heatgun to open it and used the stock silicon that was already on it and heated it up again to melt it and stuck it back on, and it came out clean. and no condinsation! (i perfer heatgun/hair dryer method if it is to be attempted; it takes a longer time but it come out better)

The E90 headlights can't be opened with a heatgun nor oven baking (at least based on our personal experience and those of others who have tried so far). And we've had experience with opening headlights in the past using the heating method (on other cars).
