Replacemnet f10 535xi xenon adaptive headlight came with no cap?
I had a condensation problem in my left headlight and I decided to get a replacement. The one i bought (from ebay) didn’t have that cap at the top of the assembly that you can usually accesss from the engine bay. Instead there is just a sealed circle..Is that access from the cap necessary to install all of the bulbs/modules? or is it just a convenience thing that I can do without? Thanks for any help..

M5Rick yeah it was really bad to the point where it started affecting the modules and everything. If anything when I take out the original one I’ll try to get it fixed or plastic welded whatever the issue turns out to be. I jus wasn’t sure if the cap not being on the replacement was a functional issue. thanks though!

bimmerfx when I rebuilt my headlights, the black casing did not have the top cover separate like the OE units.
The area where that cover used to mount that now has a blanking plate molded into the housing, with the two plastic nubs on it, will not keep you from replacing bulbs. Last edited by M_Bimmer; 06-14-2023 at 10:55 PM.. |
