Bosch offers the exact parts for the x35d now. $275 at FCP. You can get the kit on Amazon for ~$25 cheaper but I verified with the wife that she wants to keep this truck. No more having to use the VW parts. The tank was too small on that kit, don't know if that ever caused issues to anyone who did it. I got the tank rebuilt and ready to go back in but figured while I'm most of the way there (pulled front bumper, SCR tank, SCR bracket left access to the headlight bracket and headlight) let me pull the headlights for a refinish. A real PITA but they needed it.
Today I ordered a set of Lamin X headlight PPF to protect the hours of work that went into getting this off and then refinished. It's not perfect, but it's 95% there and 1000x better than it was. Sanded with 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 and finished with Meg's Plastic Polish. Sealed with 50/50 Minwax and mineral spirits.
