Has anyone replaced the headlight lens cover and have a link to the replacement? I was already planning on cleaning them up, but I went to replace a parking light bulb today and basically had the wiring disentegrate on me. Thinking I'm just going to pull the housings apart and R&R them if I can find lenses. Bi-xenon housings aren't exactly cheap....

Just a word of caution. They sent me one correct and one incorrect lens when I ordered a replacement set in April. Couldn’t even tell until I got them unwrapped. I just recently got started on rebuilding my headlights again, and am waiting for a response from them.

I get that mistakes happen and am hoping to have this resolved quickly.

totally wrong shape (bimmerjakes new above, OEM below)




incorrect style, these accents are not supposed to exist, likely from a different car altogether

Those look like pre facelift lenses kinda so maybe they just sent you one for the pre facelift ?

BLKROKT

Maybe. All I know is that it’s wrong.

Yeah you for sure got PFL. These look completely different for FL. https://www.bimmerjakes.com/en/merce...eft_right-pair

Yeah those look like the Pre-FL lenses

They got back to me fairly quickly, were super apologetic, and are sending a replacement out right away. It'll probably take a month to get here, and I'll report back on the outcome.

Just to update, got the correct lens from BimmerJakes. Great customer service, sent it out from CZ via FedEx and arrived in about a week. Looks great, very happy. Highly recommend.

BLKROKT,

When do you plan on swapping out the lens covers? Post up before and after if you can

TBD man. I minorly screwed up my headlight build and have to repin some of the headlight connectors (the “C” currently blinks with the turn signal, the amber turn signal is always on, and my halos glow amber not white) and repaint/fix a few issue spots where the heat from the light damaged some internal plastic. It’s going to take awhile as I just moved and can’t find anything. I’ve got my backup lights in there now so I’m not in a hurry. Car doesn’t run anyway. My car life is a basket case.
