Hello community, not sure if I am the only one with this issue, but all of a sudden, both my front headlights have the glass cracked. They are working perfectly, the only problem is the glass which has vertical cracks. Does anyone know a solution for replacing only the glass? Or a shop somewhere to buy this part? I wouldn't buy brand new headlights only because the glass is broken. The model is E89 2.8i 2013. thanks everyone!
 
There's a European company on eBay selling them individually for £145 each or various Chinese companies selling a pair from £130
 
Wow, I really appreciate your answer, this is helpful. Did you have this issue in the past maybe? I want to know if those items on eBay are good enough to be considered as an option for replacing the glass. thank you again!!!
 
I replaced the glass. Bit of a faff but doable.
I also replaced the halos and fitted fog light led in the blank lamp.
I bought the cheap £130 they do the job.

i bought the cheap one from my motherland CHINA, they are OK in quality.

most difficult part was how to take off the original glass. use heat gun set it quite high in temperature and be patient

With heat gun i found the black housing starts to distort.
Best i found was to use a Dremel type tool to cut away the lens.
Then gently warm what is left and will pull out in lengths with pliers.

i really have to say i was too dumb. after removed those original glasses and cracked them, was thinking maybe cutting them out THEN heat gun would be easier. anyway got the job done (yep a bit of distort) :lol:
