Hello!
Prompt please, can I replace the glass in the headlamp as possible on e46? Most recently changed xenon lamp, and for that shot lights. After careful examination realized that glass removable, there are a few screws and latches as the e46!
And on ebay found here it is:

There is no sealant! There is a slot in paze sealing gum and a few catches as the e46!
I wrote a letter to the seller, see what he would respond ...

If the headlight is removable then can the orange reflective be removed w/o baking the headlight?
Please provide update

I have also asked that seller about how they install......and am taking pictures and my M5 to my crash shop next monday to ask him if he could do the job.
I have some nasty stone chips on mine - and my crash guy said DO NOT WET SAND THEM as it will strip the UV resistant film that is on the lights which stops all of the internals fading and cracking.

My friend bought a couple of years ago a used E46 which he came to show me before he made the deal.
The headlight glass (plastics) where in very bad shape so I told him that the dealers should change them
or no deal.
He did buy the car with brand new light clusters, so I don't think only the plastics can be changed,
otherwise the dealer would for sure have changed only them.
