Replace LCI Xenon Housing?

jsn124 · 03-29-2010, 03:19 PM

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to get an opinion. How difficult is it to simply replace the stock adaptive Xenon housing? I have a damaged housing that needs to be replaced and I can source the part from Tischer. However the local quote I got at the dealership is quite ridiculous for the install.

I would say that I am competent mechanically. I have a 2010 E90 LCI sedan with Adaptive Xenons.

The parts that concern me are:

1. Removing the bumper with the headlamp washers in there (they come standard on these models)
2. When I swap out the components do I need to worry about leveling the headlight, aiming, anything around the mechanical components??
3. What about the warranty? Besides how can they prove if this was a DIY or I took it to a private shop?

Again not looking to mod anything. Just a straight swap of the clear / black plastic housing!

thanks!

Thanks, sorry I don't have any pics right now. Actually it turns out I was able to fix the issue. Wasn't a crack!
