I have a cracked headlight lens on the passenger side. Mine is a 1996 740 iL. I need replacement instructions. Please help. Thanks.

Is the lens made of glass? This lens is NLA. The current replacement is plastic.

Have you checked with the local BMW dealer? I believe you'll need to replace the entire headlight assembly.

Thanks for quick response.

I just purchased it new and it's made of glass! It comes with a rubber gasket.
