LCI Headlight lens compatibility

airdude25 · 08-05-2018, 01:22 AM

I need a RH lens for my LCI 335 sedan and I wanted to know if there is a difference between the non-lci and lci lens. Will I be able to put an pre-lci lens replacement on?

I don't think there is a difference as long as it's not e90 to e92

Better read reviews. Amazon is wrought with misleading and outright false information in its listings, only to punish consumers who complain that Amazon listed a lie and they returned the product.

Your headlight lens looks really good. I'd just restore it and get it resealed. It's not worth opening up your headlight just for a new lens. Trust me

Nah man don't paint it black!!! Just take 3000 grid sand paper. Cover the sides with paint tape. After sanding away until smooth. Just apply the headlight restoration polish and wax it on there. I don't have a polisher so I bought an adapter that fits onto my drill. Works perfect! You can also seal the headlight with gloss coat and it'll never go yellow again

Lol the set of lenses cost as much or more than a set of headlight assembly for some cars

sirdaft1 · 08-11-2018, 09:18 AM

The lenses ARE NOT THE SAME. You need LCI specific lenses. The shape is generally the same but the ‘egdes’ where they meet the black headlight housing ARE DIFFERENT. Made this mistake a few years ago. Unfortunately most all replacement lenses are for pre-LCI headlights.

Bavgruppe(which I linked above) has LCI lenses.
