The lenses of the side turn signals on the BMW 3 Series are exposed to the elements and can become cloudy. To remedy this, polish them with a specific abrasive paste and a microfiber cloth.

To remove them from their housing, push with your fingers on the section near the wheel well towards the housing. Once moved about an inch, pull the lens outward to remove it, disconnect the connector, and place it on a work surface to polish.

If you need to replace the bulb, simply turn the socket counterclockwise.
