That's just BMW cheating customers. Or you might argue that they are cheating insurance companies, since most crunched headlights are replaced under insurance.

- BizarroLand 4y agoYep. You may not be able to get it to Brand New Out of the box OEM shine but I bet there are a dozen acetone/sandpaper/lacquer/toothpaste/hydrogen peroxide something or anothers that could get you to 99% of new quality for less than $20.
- LeonM 4y agoHeadlights are considered safety critical. None of the manufacturers will (and should!) allow a certified mechanic to rejuvenate and reseal a headlight unit under factory warranty. A manufacturer will always replace the unit, just to be able to warrant the repair. You can DIY it of course, but no BMW 760i owner is ever expected to do that.
- BizarroLand 4y agoUnder warranty? Sure, let the manufacturer handle it. Outside of warranty? Don't give a company 10 grand for 74 cents worth of plastic and chrome.
- Wistar 4y agoI wouldn’t go that far. Their light output and the steerability of their output is fairly stunning. They can’t be very cheap to make, but not $9k either.
