Thank you my friend. You've just saved the cost of a new pair of headlamps, would cost more than the car's worth. Your instructions are as brilliant as the finished lenses. Cheers.

Did this on my old E39. Transforms the look of the car. Crystal clear headlights make a big difference.

Just watched your vid for the heck of it. I had tried to polish my sons e60 headlights but it had that crackle kinda finish so I knew it was done. After watching videos we replaced the lenses completely. Coat was $80. For the lenses and took roughly 4 hrs per light. Also took the time while we had them out to use liquid electrical tape to re-insulate cracked wires. We put the lights in the oven at 220 degrees for 25 minutes and slowly pried the lense off....they look new

That's actually pretty interested. I have thought of doing that before but this was so easy I thought give it a try. Might do that at some point

I have restored the headlights on my 2008 BMW 535i all by myself using a 3M Headlight Restoration Kit and they came out looking better than I thought after restoring them but the thing that I forgot to do was mask off the surrounding areas of the headlights and not only that, but I also used too much of the compound and the polish so I made a little mess in the garage

Hi there, Great video on headlight restoration. I have the same type of car which is a 2008 BMW 528i. I’m planning to get my headlights restored soon at a detail shop. My headlights are not oxidized this bad. But they’re lightly oxidized though. How long did it take for you to restore your headlights on this car?
@mrgcc4 жыл бұрын
It took me a few hours to do. Maybe up to 3 hours max but that involved stopping to film etc. Would be less if you just did it without stressing about filming haha
@vt68574 жыл бұрын
Are your headlights LED or Xenons? My 2008 bmw 528i are LEDs. I got them changed to LEDs from halogens a few months ago. Made a big difference in terms of brightness😀
@mrgcc4 жыл бұрын
These are Xenon lights but we did an LED swap on my cousins F30 and I agree it's a massive upgrade!

You can take them apart and change lens I think. but you might be better off replacing the headlight with either a new or second hand one. All depends on what you want to do mate.
