Fit them yourself.
Or we will.
At home, in an afternoon.
A home job if you're happy taking a front bumper off. Otherwise any garage or BMW specialist can do it, and we offer mobile fitting within 50 miles of our unit in Ware.
Time: 2 to 3 hours
Tools: Socket set, Torx bits and plastic trim tools
- 1Battery offTake off the negative lead and leave it a few minutes before unplugging any lights.
- 2Bumper offThe headlight bolts sit behind the front bumper. Put masking tape on the wing edges first so the paint doesn't get marked as it comes forward.
- 3Swap the unitsHold each old headlight as its last bolt comes out and check the mounting tabs on the car while you're there. Fit the new units and plug them in.
- 4Test with the bumper offCheck dipped beam, main beam, indicators and each daytime colour before anything goes back on. Push every plug fully home: a loose one shows up as a flicker.
- 5Refit and aimPut the bumper back, then set the beam height against a wall. Tighten the headlight bolts gently, as the housings are plastic.
Leave the headlights unwashed for 7 to 10 days after fitting so the seals can fully cure.

The facelift look for the earlier F30 and F31
New, complete LCI style headlight units for the pre-facelift F30 3 Series saloon and F31 Touring. Your current headlights come off whole and these bolt in where they were.
There's a version for cars on halogen headlights now and one for xenon. Each plugs into the car's own wiring. On most cars there's nothing to code. If yours objects, we'll code it remotely for £50.
The twin daytime light rings change colour from the high-beam lever and stay on the last colour you used. Dual colour pairs do white and yellow; tri colour pairs add amber.
What they don't do: they don't turn with the steering like BMW's adaptive headlights, and they don't level themselves. Dipped beam, main beam, indicators and daytime lights all work as normal.

Questions.
Answered.
Which version do I need?
Go by the headlights on your car now: halogen or xenon. Or email us a photo of the front of your headlights and we'll tell you.
Do they need coding?
Not on most cars. They plug into the factory wiring and work. If your car doesn't accept them, we can code it remotely for £50.
Are they road legal in the UK?
Yes, they're E-marked. Use the white or yellow setting on the road. Amber is for shows and off-road.
Dual or tri colour?
Both do white and yellow for the road. Tri colour adds amber for shows and off-road.
Do they fit the Touring?
Yes. The F30 saloon and F31 Touring share the same headlights.
Black or silver?
It's purely looks. Silver is closest to the factory headlights; black darkens the housing so only the light rings stand out. Light output is identical.
My car has adaptive headlights. What do I lose?
The beam won't turn with the steering, and there's no self-levelling. Everything else works as normal.
What if I order the wrong version?
We can swap it for £175 as long as the headlights are unused, in their original packaging, and you tell us within 14 days of delivery. A photo before you order avoids this.
Can you fit them for me?
Yes. We offer mobile fitting within 50 miles of our unit in Ware, at £250 for a pair of headlights, or £450 with our GTS taillights. We also work with fitters we can recommend.
What's the warranty?
12 months against defects.
How long does delivery take?
About a week to UK addresses.
Can I spread the cost?
Yes. Choose Klarna at checkout to pay in 3 interest-free instalments. You can also pay with PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay or any major card.
