Hi All, anyone know where I can get hold of some new headlight shells (the clear outer face) to suit my 2005 E87!
Thanks
John
Go to www.realoem.com and enter the last 7 characters of the car’s vehicle identification number. Hit enter and bookmark the page. Scroll down to lighting and find the section in the head lights. You’ll find the part numbers there.
Hi Marco, already tried that but it appears light breakdown doesn't include the plastic shell! I'll ask my BMW guy on Monday as well.
Some BMW headlight assemblies have a clear lens that isn’t sold separately. The availability of the lens varies even within a car series. Some E46s (3 series from 1999-2006) have replaceable lenses. Others do not. If realoem shows that the lrnsss are not available as separate parts then the dealer won’t be if any help. That said, there may be aftermarket vendors that sell replacements lenses. However, removing the old lenses may require special tools or cutting of the headlight assembly. Thanks BMW.
Yea, a real pain. Bimmerjakes.com has a good 'how to' and apparently you used to be able to source the lenses from him, Amazon and others but not any more it seems.
