Cracked headlight cover...need help!!

jim1013yyf · 03-14-2015, 09:51 AM

Hi guys,

I had a little accident and my passenger side headlight is cracked...The light itself still works fine, only the cover has some cracks.

I tried to search but couldn't find any fixes to this situation. Is there a way to replace the cover itself?

Thanks a lot!!

Edited：
Guys, I did some more research and seemed that the only choice was to replace the whole assembly. Luckily I found one OE headlight unit at a local shop for cheap! E46 is the last generation of BMW which you can switch the headlight lens(the clear plastic cover).

The headlight unit will likely have to be replaced. Don't think you just replace the cover...

The headlight is a sealed unit. You're gonna have to replace the whole thing.

There's no headlight cover, it's an an assembly and you will have to replace the entire unit since it is sealed

Doesn't 180 do upgraded lenses? May as well send them both in for customization since a new headlight is about 800

I believe Oneighty can sell you the headlight cover only.
