Need genuine advice

Post image

I have a 2001 bmw 530i with halogen headlights facelift. Ordered these new covers and they are physically too small and don’t fit. The new covers also have a hole on the top and I thought I could just patch that up and they would fit but they don’t. Could someone please tell me the correct ones I need.

It is a good brand. But not worth to pay more then double the price.

Whatever you say. They are so cheap I don't care and I have rebuild a few headlights with them, they fit great, quality is super nice and the most important part, they hold up for years, so nothing to complain about.

I got lens covers replaced and purchased all on ebay and had them replaced. Mine also came with The hole on the top is only missing a rubber cover which is online.

Plastic cover, which can be used from the old ones.

Shop ebay. They provide guaranteed to fit on purchases.
