Right Driver's side headlight smashed

Martyn C · 01-27-2024, 10:32 AM

Hello all. I joined the BMW club last Monday for the first time purchasing a 2013 BMW X1 (E84) xDrive 20d 2.0 (I always wanted one). Love it. My first trip was across Spain from the Santander Ferry to Portugal, 8-hour straight drive that was so much fun.

Last night someone reversed into my right-front headlight. We don't know who. The surrounding plastic cover is smashed, but everything else is intact and working (see photos).

Does anyone know if it is possible just to replace the surrounding covering, or does it all come as one unit?

If it comes as one unit, does anyone know the best brand to match the original?

Thanks to all who reply

Best bet would be a used headlight assembly from a recycling yard.

I'm pretty sure it's all a one piece unit, so you will have to buy the entire assembly. I'd check e-bay as a start.
