On my first E36 they were completely shot, and all the plastic tabs were broken. So I bought the hundred or so dollar TYC lights from bimmerworld, and they're fine I suppose, but they look a little cheap, and one of the lenses inside already cracked somehow. On the second E36 they're in pretty good shape, but do need a good polish like this.

The X is currently at the state ref, not throwing any codes for the next 5 hours I really hope.
2 hours elbow grease - I was sore all over . Video here has the restoration process. Very simple. https://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-Head...00429NKWK&th=1

I bought extra 400, 1000, 2000 grit sand paper and polished per the product instructions. The papers that come with the product were not enough for me. I wanted to do a thorough job.
