Best, cheapest place, to buy passenger headlight.

[creativeliberty1776]

As the title says, I have condensation in my front Passenger head light, I don't really want used and am ok with aftermarket stuff, what is the consensus on the forum as to where the best place to get head lights are?
Thank you in Advance.

Hey

Before rushing off & getting a new headlight, why don't you try either of these cheaper repairs.

Purchase part #7 from this: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=63_0758

Part #7 is basically the back cover for the headlight. It also has a gasket which over time will harden. Replacing this part will generally fix headlight condensation problems.
It worked on my car.

2nd, remove part #7 and apply NON-Harding Silicone grease on the gasket on this part and reinstall. I did not use this method but, it is understanding that it will also stop condensation in the headlight.

I also performed this fix with a new back cover, no issues since. Prior to installation, use a hair dryer to evaporate the condensation inside the housing.
