08 E91 Headlights question

jcsydney · 11-02-2018, 04:02 AM

Hey guys...1st post...please be kind

recently purchased it however want to look at options on fixing the blurred plastic part at the top of my headlights.

I believe i can purchase some eyelids that sit on top of the headlight...just wondering if theres an easy fix to clean/replace the original part?

Thanks

the photo you posted is an LCI headlight. You can't use it.
aftermarket eyelids are terrible.

pull them.
sand and polish them.
then seal them with new UV protection.

it's the only permanent fix. It will take you an afternoon and then your headlights will be like brand new again. You will have to re aim them.
