Headlight lenses - replacement?

[mole]

Afternoon guys,

My headlights are stonechipped and having just had a respray and new bumper, would like to sort these out.

Does anybody know if the lenses on CSL Xenons can be replaced?

Found a lot of info mainly based in the states regarding replacing lenses but can't work out if we can do ours...

RealOEM lists: 63128382191 and 63128382192 but a google finds sites like this:

Which say "Not for Xenon"

Anyone? :whistle::thumbs:

Is it not something to do with the Xenons burn a std lense or something like that??

Might be talking a load of pi$h but sure i heard something along those lines.

Mine need done as well so will keep an eye on the thread

Xenons if anything will run cooler, something like 35w vs 100w so not sure!

BMW dealer reckons it's doable so ordered a couple in, will let you know how I get on :thumbs:

Im fooking rubbish, got my mate who is a tech at BM to do, few clips, pop headlight out, front part comes off, clip new cover on, slide back in bingo !

He did it before I had time to finish my cuppa

Just been down to have a look....

Mine aren't that bad, but its one of those things that annoys me (along with plenty of other little bits on the car!)... so think I will get some ordered in anyway.

To remove:

Take screw out to remove side repeater.
There is a clip on the side of the headlight.
3 clips on top
1 on the other side
2 clips either side of the piece of trim underneath the light, pull out trim a couple of inches
3 clips underneath the light
Then it will just pull off!

A bit fiddly at first, but once you've done it once the other will be easy.

Replaced these yesterday with the new ones I ordered... I thought they looked much better...then met up with some mates for a drive and 2 of them both commented on and asked what I'd done to my headlights :thumbs:
