Headlight Replacement Parts
In previous model years, individual replacement parts were not available for headlight assemblies. This was due to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) relating to the pitting or corrosion of the reflector components in non-sealed beam headlight assemblies.
BMW has submitted corrosion test data for headlight components which have passed the FMVSS providing the availability of headlight assembly spare parts. This approval has been given for all Bosch headlight assemblies (including halogen).
