BMW E60 Headlight Lens Replacement

In today's video we'll continue working on the 2010 BMW 535i E60 project by removing and repairing the headlights and replacing the old weathered lenses with bran new ones before reinstalling them back into the car. **Impotant note**, I had my oven at 240 degrees Fahrenheit NOT Celsius!! Thank you all for watching and for your support!!

As I am sitting here watching you take apart that headlight I am just blown away by how hard it is to do that without breaking it

[kontrabida]

Taking off the Permac-seal can be very challenging and will test ur patience lol! great work on ur porject!

[constantinanton]

amazing job you did, one of the only videos I have found for this process, I am thinking to do it myself but I would also want to upgrade the halo rings, any recommendations anyone ?

[Artezia]

This video is my confirmation that i will never do that!

[abutler]

Great video showing the oven process, this is not an easy quick job but you made it look so easy 👌🏼

[Sifsarmonikas]

What a thorough video, great detail and great result. Maybe protect it with some ppf or a coat. Great video as always

[drifter]

Awesome work man! Luckily i have a spare set to do this on so my cars not down during the process

[sandrotorre]

This was the best detailed video I’ve watched to date about resealing the headlights, absolutely brilliant work. I’be got new lenses I want to change haven’t opened them since the mod I done but keep getting moisture build up in eyebrow. Would you recommend only RTV silicone that you used? Thanks

[sanduprodan]

Very good video and a lot of details, helped me a lot. But can you please next time specify the temperature units so people know you are refering to 240 degree Farenheit and not celsius. i melted part of the headlight because of this confusion. Please specify next time.

I see this is a 50 minute video, but I'd like to know how many days worth of work this actually was. It seems like a lot of work. I am thinking about doing something similar but IDK that I can have the car inoperable for so long.

[jlhaynes]

I did a similar procedure on my M5s headlights. I need to bake them again press them together more. I’m getting moisture in them.

[filadelfosambasile]

I melted a bit my corner light. Is that glass replaceable?

[СергейБерезюк-ип]

Good day.
Please tell me what sealant you use to install BMW headlight lenses?

[tazex]

i need only to change the headlights glasses, how long does it take ? when you just changed only the glasses

great video 👍🏼

[RealDeal-rw]

Do you know any shop in San Jose, California, to replace lens like that? Thanks

[rokopalada]

Dis this on e92 headlight, for sure it is easier on e92 than e60, i watched this detailed because i am going to take it apart until last srew, paint all chrome in matte black, and get new covers, new wiring inside i will put and make them like new. I charged customer for doing on e92 headlights 400€, 200 per headlight plus material. It was 2 day job 1 day one second day second and 5 day drying beacuse I used instaed of sealant windshield silicone, and it holds it up really tight.

[MrTurboDima]

hey. thanks for the video. 250 fahrenheit or celsius?

[ivarstikums]

There are options to order lenses with eyebrow LED strips, $40. Would you recommend just those of fight with original ones?

[almanyadagurbetci]

Are the head lights now water resistent? Im scary about the seal and that They fogged up in cold weather

[ajayvgopal]

Hey how about polishing the lens instead of replacing them
