[New to F30] Cracked and condensation

uluwatu06 · 10-10-2020, 01:26 PM

Hi gents,

Just got the 2016 330i LCI 2 weeks ago for the wife. Was on a road tour recently and we believe a debris caused the crack on the headlight.

Is our option only to have the entire right side LED headlight replaced?

Photos for reference.

I've seen replacement lenses advertised. It's not easy getting the original off, as it wasn't intended to be replaceable, but it can be done.

The cheapest option is to replace the lens, it should be around 50$ or so.
You can try it and see how will it go.

Used LCI non-adaptive headlight without modules is about 400$ here in EU.
