purchase a pair of new headlight
lenses from FCP Euro for just $100.
And the process to replace them on
an E46 couldn't be much simpler - it
involves undoing a series of retaining clips around the lens and
removing the lower trim piece just
below the headlight. After that the
lens comes free, and installing the
new lens is done by reversing the
same procedure. At our November
DIY, I was able to replace both of my
headlight lenses on my E46 wagon
March I April
and the end result was truly amazing. The front of my car end looks
fresher and the headlights have a
much improved light output at night.
The whole process took me less
than one hour; a headlight lens
replacement or restoration is a perfect project for an upcoming DIY
event. One word of caution, however, check your BMW model to see
whether your headlight lens is the
replaceable type. Some lenses are
either not intended to be replaced or
may require more involved techniques for removal, such as cutting
out or baking off the lens using heat.
Our November DIY event was
held at Bimmer Werks (www.bimmerwerks.shop) located in Beltsville,
Maryland, not very far from the
University of Maryland campus.
Having been in the BMW community for a while, I sometimes feel like I
have heard of or visited virtually
every shop in the area that specializes on our cars, but Bimmer Werks
was new to me and it was like finding a hidden gem. The owner, Amr
Alkhateeb, opened the business
about 5 years ago and this was his
first time hosting a DIY event. Amr
has over 25 years of experience that
includes stints working at Passport
BMW (on the Fast Track program)
and later working at BMW of a Silver
Spring as a Master Technician. The
facility itself is impressive; Amr is
personally responsible for incorporating most of the custom details.
