I have some yellowing and overall foggy look on my wife's X5 headlights. What products do you guys recommend to fix this?

Thanks :hi

3M Headlight Rest. System >> B&A Pics

In all honesty...they are pretty cheap to replace. $75 at www.khoalty.com

Just follow the directions to the "T". Took me about an hour or so....I think the results are pretty good considering the alternative....



The kit was available at Autozone......you just need a drill....



Before right.

They will only look as good, as the amount of time you put into them. I stopped before they were perfect, though I know I could have gotten there with what was provided.

$75 would be nice. But these are for the E53 X5. The entire assembly including the corner markers/lights are all one piece. You can't break them apart like on our cars. In fact, I don't even think you can "bake" them apart.

I looked into getting Euro lights for it but those run upwards of $3,000 for front Euro corners/lights.
