Does anyone know if the driving light lenses can be replaced or do you have to replace the whole light assembly?

Thanks

The driving light lenses?

Are you refering to the outer shell that protects the halogen bulb and the xenon projector?

If so, yes, that can be replaced.

I'm referring to the two lights mounted down in the air dam.

Yes, thos can be replaced also. You just need a socket wrench to pull the bolt out that holds each one in place.

Chris,

Thanks for the information. Do you know where I can buy replacements besides going to the Dealer?

Thanks

I'm afraid I don't know of any other places.

Other dealers like Pacific BMW offer great pricing on OEM parts. I would check there first.

I have cracked two so far and the answer is no. You can't just replace the lens, you have to replace the whole unit. It is just one bolt and is very easy but the unit costs $130 from the dealer.

Is it pretty easy to pull out the bolts? I'm thinking about replacing the bulbs with Hoen's "xenonmatch" bulbs myself.
