Lightwerkz BMW E46 Coupe 03-06 (Facelift) Lens Replacement Service & Projector Retrofit

Do you notice visible wear and tear on your headlight lens? Are there micro fractures or crazing present? These issues may become more apparent when the headlights are turned on. Some restoration methods, such as wet sanding and polishing or applying a clear coat, may provide a temporary fix, but they can not eliminate all imperfections. Our replacement lens service is the only permanent solution to restore your headlights to their original condition. Plus, it will also improve the overall performance of your headlights by increasing their clarity.

This service requires sending in your own lights. A core service is not offered. Your original headlights will be returned after we carefully remove the old lenses, old sealant, and install new butyl sealant and lenses.

Wiring failure on this model may lead to electrical problems. We offer full wiring servicing for up to $175 per light, with final pricing determined after lights are disassembled. Expect $350 for both lights if wiring needs to be overhauled.

Projector Upgrade Option: You'll get the best performance upgrade with our projector retrofit conversion. Our conversions feature the G5-BRT Projectors. This is our go-to unit and it's what we use on most of our custom builds.  You will be able to retain stock ballasts and wiring, which keeps the engine bay looking 100% original.  Even with excellent condition stock E46 Bixenon projectors, expect to gain double the light output after we convert your lights!

OEM Quality:  Our focus is on high performance, reliability, and longevity; without any compromises! What to take things to the next level? Pair it up with high performance Osram bulbs. We always recommend new HID bulbs unless you recently installed a brand new set of high quality bulbs such as Osram or Philips. 

Period Correct: Let's face it, any aftermarket headlight assembly you find are going to look out of place. Want to add a modern flare? Add the Orion V4 Halos for that "angel eye" look that modern BMW's feature. 

Plug & Play: Our conversions are plug and play! If you add on the halos, please note a supplied harness needs to be installed which takes about an hour. 

To ensure long-lasting protection for your lenses, we advise visiting a local detailing shop to have aftermarket lenses protected with PPF (Paint Protection Film).  This will help keep your lenses in top condition for many years. Without the use of the film, the lenses may experience premature degradation. 

Turn around time is usually 3-7 business days. The current lead time is listed under the "add to cart button" and we may be able to meet specific deadline requests. Please contact us before sending in your lights if you have a specific deadline in mind. Instructions will be provided via email after placing your order.

For instructions on how to properly pack and ship your lights to us, please refer to the instructional video provided. 

What's Included:
