E92 headlight clear plastic cover replacement?

GI335I · 10-29-2012, 07:17 AM

Hey guys, tried searching and found a thread dating back to 2011 with no results.. Searched the ecs site too (they sell the e46 cpc) and found nothing ether
If you own an e46, you can simply buy a new headlight plastic cover from Bosch or several sites such as ecs and replace your old one. this way the headlights would look factory new..
I am considering installing LED angel eyes soon and I was wondering If anybody knows where I can buy E92 headlight plastic covers? I'd like to replace mines in the process since they have a few scratches and marks on them from flying debris and since I'm opening my headlights anyways.
I dont think they exist since e46 headlights could be taken apart, making it easy to replace the cover, which is not the case with e92 which are sealed with glue, but im asking anyways..

So, any idea?

have you considered a headlight repair kit? YOu sand everything down and polish it with the powerball attachment.

Yeah I have the Meguiar's headlight restoration kit, but was hoping on using it as a plan B..

Does e9x headlights actually have headlight cover as a separate part? I thought they didn't, which might be why you couldn't find it.

Actually the headlight and the headlight cover are glued together. But you can take them apart. However in the E46 you got clips instead of glue.
