Best Place to Buy a Replacement Adaptive Xenon Headlight

[Huecifer]

I need to buy a replacement passenger (right) adaptive xenon headlight because mine got moisture in it and it's shorting the headlight out. Any ideas?

What year is your car? I have a passenger adaptive headlight from my 08 135. I got in an accident and thought I'd broken both headlights so bought two used. Turned out my passenger side headlight was fine, just the brackets holding it in were broken. Headlights worked perfectly with no errors when I took them out. If you're interested I'll clean it up and examine it.

It's a '10.. where did you buy used headlights?

Took a lot of searching through classifieds to finally find someone parting out a 135. Found a seller on kijiji (aka eBay classifieds). Turned out the drivers side headlights was not as advertised. I had to take some parts off my old headlight to fix it. Still have an error code caused by that headlight. The passenger side that I really didn't need was perfect. Murphy's law.

I had to replace both headlights in my E60, and I found the cheapest place online was Amazon of all places. They were brand new OE Hellas.

Yes passenger side is in good shape. No brackets included but you can reuse your old ones.

Did you get the adaptive headlight warning on the dash? You may not need a whole new headlight.

This thread is what i needed. With any luck, I can get the guys at the shop who didn't put the back cover on properly originally to do some of the testing by swapping ballasts/modules back and forth, and figure out for certain.

Thanks!

Actually the guys at the shop should be paying for this. The back covers have to be absolutely tight to get moisture from getting into the housing. Ask me how I know this
