Headlight
Hi All
Just purchased a 2019 320i m sport from BMW Rochdale. Headlights have very strange reflection as attached photos. Same fault in same position on both headlights. Anyone seen this before? Any advice appreciated. |

It’s the dust on the inside of the lens. All led headlights will do this to an extent after a few months. With LEDs been so bright it just shows up the dust with the projection of the beam.
They aren’t sealed units so dust etc can form on the inside of the lens. |

As the white spots show up in areas that are solid plastic at the edges of the light I don't think its dust inside. To me it looks like a myriad of tiny stone chips from the cars in front. Also these lenses are made of plastic and mark quite easily. If you look carefully you can see lots of little scratches when this they have been cleaned either with a dirty sponge or a brush. They probably just need a bit of work with an abrasive paint prep paste / polish. There are lots of examples of headlight restoration on Youtube. I'd go for one of the less aggressive options shown and they will probably come up great. Be carefull with the surrounding paintwork though.
