Headlight Restoration Instructions

Model: BMW Serie 3 E91, E90, E92 - Years 2005-2013
Part: Headlight

The sun and often the aggressiveness of some car wash detergents tend to yellow the headlights, giving the vehicle an unpleasant appearance and aging its look while compromising the quality of illumination. If the deterioration is not excessive, one solution is to polish the headlights after sanding them evenly with sandpaper: it is recommended to use a grit of 2500 or 3000 and to sand wet, keeping the surface constantly wet to avoid damage from overheating due to the abrasive action. Once uniformly dulled, use a soft pad and abrasive paste to complete the job.
