Do your headlight projector's have a smudge on them?

VisualEcho · 09-24-2019, 06:25 PM

OK, so earlier I was taking some shots of the front of my car when I noticed a smudge on the driver's side projector lens. It looks like someone was inside there and just wiped over it with something, maybe their hand. The passenger's side is the same, but to much less of a degree. To my knowledge the headlight housing hasn't been opened, but I can't imagine that BMW would even let something like this fly.

How about yours? Have you ever looked?

No smudges on mine.

I have a pre-LCI with Xenon and it has the same smudge and also dust trapped on the lens. The dealer said it's "normal".

I'm going to figure out a workaround to force them to replace them, since they don't want to play fair.

This is kind of what mines looks like:

Just checked my LCI, no smudges on either one. Completely clean.
