My car is a 2010 535i xdrive and had only 20K miles on it. I bout it used.. When I turned on the lights I see a lot of dust/dirt in both the headlights and Foglights. Do you think the dealer can fix this?? any experiences?? I have had Audis for the last 12 years and never had this issue even in my 10 year old Audi.. why would a 2 year old BMW have dust int he lights?? seems abnormal.. this is my first BMW.
Thanks for all the help |
Post pics so we can see how bad it is. If it's under CPO, with a bit of complaining, they should change it out without charge.
|
It is still under the 4 year 50K miles warranty.. Not sure if the pics will show the details..
|
My headlights are the traces of dust in the housing lens. I also found on this forum that this is a common experience to have condensation inside the headlamps.
|
Are you sure it's dust?
I've seen headlights where it looks like it may be dust inside.. but it's actually lots of tiny little chips and bumps on the outside. |
I doubt there is dust inside as these are sealed lights. And it being a 2010 it is highly unlikely that it's faded either. I mean perhaps someone took the bulbs out and left them out and the car was in dusty/dirty conditions. Only then could I understand how anything could enter the headlight.
OP - just take it to the dealer if you're not happy. |
Looks like Ripcar was right it is stone chips on the outside which look like dust particles when the lights are turned on... I wonder why this car has badly chipped headlights when my 117K Audi was better after even 10 years... any suggestions on how to fix this?? Polish the headlights??
