Thanks and if by sandblasted you mean that they looked like a back-lit onyx countertop...

Then definitely. [emoji1787]

The lenses only cost 100 USD, so I said why not give it a shot?

Do you mean you just replaced the lens and not the whole headlight? Very cool

Yeah, just the lenses. I was a little concerned about fitment but it was just a matter of making sure every single piece of sealant was removed and cleaned up to get it right. I'm thinking about getting a second set just in case something goes tits-up or gets damaged...

I saw lenses for sale and was contemplating that option, but I figured it would be a pig of a job to get the old lenses off? Do you have to seal them with something?

On a positive note... I found a loose vacuum hose and taped it on as a temporary solution... the CEL went off a few days ago and hasn't been back. so it's either that or me pushingthe engine a bit every ride to get the vanos moving a bit.

I used a high temperature silicone, time will tell if it holds up..[emoji28]

I'd been hoping that the blowing sand would just turn into clear glass, but nooooo..[emoji1787]

I noticed a couple of weeks ago that my third brake light was only working on the left side, so I found a good replacement on ebay and swapped it out this morning.

Mine worked. Fixed it anyway. :bmw:
Incase you see mine running down the highway and hit the all new brakes and rotors. :rofl:

Nice BWM X2 you have there sir
