I bought used xenon facelift headlights on ebay because my junkyard didnt have any. mine were pretty sorry looking too and had broken adjusters. I had to replace my adjusters the hard way bc they were 2003 production lights. Had to go in through the rear with the new adjusters which was very hard and frustrating but once I did the first light the second light seemed easier bc I learned the tricks of how to get them in there just right. i did the same thing with wet sanding but instead of clear coating them i decided to just buff them after wet sanding and they look brand new. I just wanted to share my story. Nice work - yours look beautiful as well.
Thanks for sharing your experience. You can save some time by buffing them at home and installing back on the car really quick. Either way I found out you don't need a perfect pair of headlights for this car as long as they work and have no cracks from damage you can easily make them look like new again!
Couple screws on the back. Heat up the headlight so sealant is softer. Pry carefully around lens and housing area. Should be pretty easy with no force. There is a production stamp on the back of headlight that will let you know what type of sealant is used. There’s a sealant on some of these headlights that you pretty much can’t take apart.
Wow, amazing! I have headlights that look kind of like these. How can I get in contact with you to discuss your technique? (And if my headlights could be fixed)
Perfect job bro I do same job for e39 headlights and everything for the beautiful girl❤ And I clear headlights by using nano ceramic Iam enjoyed to see you work... But what u do for class ???
Noticed that car is a Californian car. Well it had passed all its emissions tests up until 4/16/17. What pick n pull is that with such a variety of e39s unmolested? I go to the Oakland and Richmond p&p and even 2 day old ones are almost completely gutted.Shouldve taken the rear light housings and vanos solenoids too. Last time I went to a pick n pull I took a valve cover to replace my warped one (that I believe to be the source of my phantom vacuum leak) and they rang it up as a timing gear cover!!😂😂🤣 I was like, "yeah, timing gear cover." $25
Sorry man can’t disclose the location because I still need e39 parts haha jk It’s the one in Rancho Cordova. It’s true though I noticed there’s a decent amount of e39s that still have plenty of parts on them left here in our area compared to the Bay Area.
I paid the big $$$ and bought new euo spec Hellas....hell yeah!
Makes me sad seeing so many e39 in a scrap yard

Good video, thank you! They turned out looking terrific! Enjoy.
Keep the M5 content coming!
Will do! Next couple videos should be interesting.
Wow I would have thought those were trash until you transformed them!
Same here!
One mans trash is another mans treasure in my case here!
Nice job 👍🏻
Thank you!
Good work...nice content. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Where did you pick up your adjuster for? Did you use oven method or heat gun?
Can’t remember from who but it was on eBay and I used the oven method.
How did you take the lens apart to scuff them down?

@@golfandcats how you heat it up?! I tried with heat gun but it didn't work at all...please help!! :(
Thanks!
hello I'm looking for the same headlights with the side markers. can you find them at the scrap yard i would pay you and ship to austria? 😊
How bright are the halos?
They are not too dim and not too bright. Somewhere in the middle there and that’s what I was looking for.. maybe I’ll post a pic on ig soon

Yep, best way to do it so it lasts long and looks clean! I’m just an auto mechanic.

Really nice how that turned out, if they dont work i still would not give them back. Maybe then just get the xenon belasts they break sometimes...
Yeah that’s what I was think too. I’ll see here shortly when the parts are gonna go back where they belong!
