I hate these stinking BMW headlights!!! I tried replacing the bulbs with Morimoto bulbs back in 2018 and only 13k miles ago. The headlights had gotten SO dim, I would barely drive at night. When I did, I would turn my fogs on for added illumination. And Sillieidiot is right, they lose their brightness after a VERY short time period. Not to mention, now I have water getting into my headlights. I guess I should've replaced the gasket too??? SHEESH!!!
Whelp, now both of my fogs are broken...not just burnt out, but broken. The lens have cracked and my only recourse is to replace the whole assembly.
The burnt bowl replacement thru the ZHP forum member is real appealing. But, that is further down the list of priorities for me right now. A full set of replacements is well over $1k for OEM BMW housing. This will just result in a burnt bowl again though. The Morimoto option seems good, but I'm not a fan of drilling into my headlights.
