Genuine OEM 63116924482 - Headlight Restoration Kit

Product Overview

This Genuine OEM 63116924482 headlight restoration kit is designed to restore clarity and brightness to aging BMW headlight lenses. The kit fits BMW 1 Series models from 2008 to 2011, including the 128i, 135i, and 1 Series M (E82 and E88 chassis). Over time, UV exposure and oxidation cause headlight polycarbonate to yellow and cloud, reducing light output and safety. This restoration kit addresses that degradation, helping you restore factory-specification clarity to your headlights.

This is a single headlight restoration kit. Most owners restore both headlights at the same time for even appearance and consistent light output.

Symptoms of Cloudy or Oxidized Headlights

• Yellowing or cloudiness on the headlight lens surface
• Noticeably dimmer light output compared to new headlights
• Hazy appearance that worsens in direct sunlight
• Uneven clarity between the headlight lens and surrounding trim
• Reduced visibility at night despite functioning bulbs

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my BMW E82 or E88 headlights need restoration?

If your 128i, 135i, or 1 Series M headlights appear yellow, cloudy, or hazy on the lens surface, restoration is likely beneficial. This cloudiness typically develops over 10+ years due to UV exposure breaking down the polycarbonate lens coating. If your headlights look clear but feel dim at night, the issue may be worn bulbs or internal reflector damage rather than lens oxidation. Inspect the lens in bright daylight first.

What does this restoration kit include and how does it work?

Genuine OEM restoration kits typically include abrasive compounds, polishing pads, and protective sealant designed to remove the oxidized layer from the headlight lens surface. The process involves wet-sanding with progressively finer grits, followed by polishing and UV-protective coating application. Follow the kit instructions carefully for best results. The restoration is not permanent; expect results to last 2 to 5 years depending on sun exposure and climate.

Should I restore both headlights even if only one is cloudy?

Yes. Restoring both headlights ensures even appearance and consistent light output across the front of your vehicle. If you restore only one, the other will appear noticeably different in clarity and brightness, creating an unbalanced appearance. Most owners purchase two kits or use one kit on both headlights if it contains enough product.

Can I use this kit on other BMW models?

This kit is engineered for the E82 coupe and E88 convertible 1 Series from 2008 to 2011. While the restoration technique may work on other BMW headlights, fitment and compatibility are not guaranteed for other models. Consult the vehicle selector tool or contact our fitment team to confirm compatibility with your specific model year and chassis.

What tools and preparation do I need for this restoration?

Headlight restoration is a detail-oriented task requiring patience and attention to the kit's instructions. You will need a clean work area, water source, and the materials provided in the kit. Do not use power tools unless the kit specifically recommends them. Mask off surrounding trim and paint to avoid accidental damage. Allow adequate drying time between each step before moving to the next grit or stage.

How long do restoration results last?

Restored headlights typically maintain clarity for 2 to 5 years, depending on your climate, sun exposure, and whether you apply a UV-protective coating as part of the kit. Vehicles in sunny, high-UV regions may see faster re-oxidation. The protective sealant included in the kit helps extend longevity. Some owners reapply the sealant annually for best results.
