Need help Re Headlight part sorry bit of a rush?

Chromey · 09-29-2020, 08:05 PM

Hi guys my shop was blacking out my lights for me and it looks like the tint spray they used on the side turn signal lense caused cracking almost. Im hoping to just buy these pieces and was wondering how I could go about the part number and if one can buy it on its own.. I really hope so..

I have been searching but coming up empty on if this part is available separately and what part number it is ... hope someone knows

I wonder if a headlight restoration kit will buff it back to clear then I can tint it

They are not sold separately.

If it's just surface damage, then yes, a headlight restoration kit can clear it up.I recommend the 3M kit. The challenge is going to be doing that without damaging the plastic as you've got a multistep sanding and polishing process.

Not really a surprise. They don't even sell replacement exterior lenses, and those are wear items!

Thanks guys I was afraid it wouldn’t be sold separately. I’m considering maybe leaving it out? Just painting the Chrome housing black ... wonder how it would look. I have the Amber delete while running lights are on so maybe no lens may be ok?

Which side? I have a few and can send you one if you pay postage from US. Alternatively, buy a wrecked headlight from eBay or salvage yard and take the parts you need.

You could contact another shop like BayOptics that does a lot of E9x work, they often have spares or access to parts that aren't ordinarily available.
