Is there any way to polish out the pits or do I have to replace the lenses? And if so how much do they run and how hard are they to put in?

I belive there have been some p[eople on the forum that have wet sanded their lenses to get rid of signs of wear and hazing. I'm not sure how deep your pit is and if sanding it will help.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Don't forget to get some 3M film or any other good film. I used "Bavarian Autosport Clear Urethane Headlight Shields," part number H2126, from http://www.bavauto.com Cost was $64.95 + S&H.
