    Xenon vs Halogen headlight lens cover: What's the difference?

    Is RealOEM incorrect?

    3' E46 M3 Single parts, xenon headlight


    The part numbers listed in the link are halogen lens:

    63128382191
    63128382192

    But Xenon specific are:
    63126929565
    63126929566

    Are xenon and halogen lenses interchangeable?

    Yes

    iirc, the difference was a transluscent coating or something about the plastic for the xenon light?

    And maybe those little horizontal lines in the plastic (xenon one)

      Yes, the 65/66 parts only show up for USA models, if you use realoem for a euro car it will just list the 91/92 part numbers for xenon as well.
      I suspect the only difference would be some mandatory DOT engraving on them for the US market.
