Need your help folks. I'm going to replace my LED headlights with new units due to mine being crazed from the elements. They are beyond polishing out. I noticed that some 3rd gens have headlights with black housings and mine are grey with more chrome. I want to get the darker ones. Does anyone have any idea what the part numbers are those darker units are, and more importantly, are they compatible with my 2015 F56?

Here are a couple of pictures to illustrate the difference:

realoem.com for part numbers and cross referencing for compatibility

 

Thank you.

 

At $1600 USD a side?

 

or...lightly used OEM units on eBay or Valeo units at 1/3 of the cost.

 

u2asian,

Just so you know, a professional can polish out even some of the worst pitted and glazed headlamp lenses for around $200 US. A fraction of what new LED lamps cost.

Cheers,

Joseph

 

Yup, thank you but crazing is micro cracks inside the plastic lenses. The only way to get rid of it is to replace the lenses. I tried the sanding/polishing route but it's beyond that.

 

My 2017 are black, so use that year as reference

 

Thank you. This is what I needed to know! Minnie's link was great for cross referencing part numbers but it still didn't tell me the color differences between the parts. Would you be willing to pop your hood and take pics or jot down the part numbers on your set?

These are mine:

 

Thise black housing lights have the corner lights in them, the “grey” ones don’t. So, not sure how compatible hey will be for swapping between each other. You might have to do some wiring to have the black ones installed.
