This guide aims to provide 'general' information about this part type, such as common issues that we've encountered and tips on determining fitment compatibility.
We typically sell headlights for use in collision repairs. However, there are some common issues with G-Generation vehicles such as the 5 Series G30/G31 where the LED modules can melt the headlight internally.
Headlight modules & control units are prone to electrical faults. In most cases, these are very simple to replace (no coding required for ballasts and LED modules.) However please note that we don’t supply F and G Generation headlight control units—and instead recommend purchasing new genuine as they are VIN locked and can’t be recoded using ISTA or aftermarket scan tools.
Each model generation, such an X5 F15, can have multiple variations of headlight. These variants can be:
Please supply our team with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN and we’ll check our stock for a compatible headlight.
There is typically interchangeability of headlights between sister models (X5 to X6.)
Replacing busted or worn-out headlights doesn’t have to cost a fortune. At BM Spares, we have a solid range of genuine used and second hand BMW headlines, mostly pulled from low-km cars and dismantled by our in-house crew. We check and test everything ourselves, and every light is photographed so you know exactly what’s turning up.
Whether you’re dealing with damage from a crash, fogging and condensation, or an LED that’s given up the ghost, a good second-hand headlight can be a smart and affordable fix.
Each light is listed with proper part numbers and clear compatibility info, so you can be confident you’re getting the right fit. We’ve also got complete units and individual components if that’s all you need, as well as control units.
These genuine parts are thoroughly tested to ensure they meet strict performance and safety standards. Whether you’re restoring a beloved older model or simply need a reliable replacement for your daily drive, our second-hand BMW headlights allow you to save significantly without compromising on quality.
Our inventory covers a wide range of BMW models, including popular 3 Series (E90, F30), 5 Series, and X models. Each headlight listed on our site includes detailed specifications and part numbers, so you can find the perfect match for your vehicle with ease.
From full headlamp assemblies to individual components, BM Spares ensures you have access to genuine parts that fit right the first time – the same goes for our excellent range of OEM BMW engines, transmissions, brakes, communication systems and other key components.
