Literally today I am putting my repaired headlight back in my F10. Was worse than yours, but started off looking like yours. Eventually I started getting faults for the headlight as water contaminated the electrics.

Cons: water contaminated electrics

Buy a used headlight using the part number that you can find on the headlight (under the bonnet, remove plastic cover that sits above the headlight). In Europe you can get full LED adaptive headlights for 300-350 EUR used. No programming necessary after installation.

Pros: No programming necessary
Vehicle: Volvo XC90

If it's still functional, remove it, dry the interior carefull with a heat gun and apply a silicon clear sealant around the headlight-- where the black and clear plastic meet. Put everything back together.

Pros: silicon sealant fixed problem

I\u2019ve had both a pre-facelift M3 and LCI M3 CS. Honestly they are both great and I think the LCI is a nice new interpretation of the halos. Alternatively, I don\u2019t think the pre-LCI needed a new interpretation. Either way, they are both better than newer version, which still look to me like they are upside down.

Pros: great new interpretation
Cons: newer version upside down

Here\u2019s one, my 21 BMW 218 has quite high dims. I regularly get flashed to dim my light when they are dimmed. There is no dial / setting on the car that I\u2019m aware of to adjust this. I asked BMW and they said I\u2019d need to leave it in (which will cost \u20ac300 or something ridiculous).

Pros: high dims, regularly flashed
Cons: no setting to adjust

Any BMW. You have to take the side fender and various front engine apart just to replace a headlight! Dealer says they'll replace both for $2000.

Cons: difficult headlight replacement

I bought a used 2021 BMW 5 series. I live in a rural area without streetlights, so it’s pitchblack on curvy 50mph roads lined with trees dropping limbs and large animals crossing. These headlights are dangerous. Can’t see without my high beams, yet there are oncoming cars every 3 seconds. I’m left driving blind half the time.

Cons: dangerous, poor visibility, needs high beams

Can't believe this is a "sealed unit" that managed to get condensation inside from driving through a puddle. What is BMW's QC coming to?

Cons: condensation inside, poor quality control

My wife\u2019s 2020 118i headlight had the yellow issue in one. Non-dealer bmw shop quoted us $3,500 but we had to do both for $7,000. About 50% of the residual value of the car, for a yellow headlight.

Cons: yellow issue
