Car Folie is awesome!

I have asked a question. Awaiting reply. But one major issue with BMW lights is that the clear coat fails. Not the plastic. Most places will just polish/cut off the old clear coat. This makes the lights look great for about 3 months. Then the plastic starts to get damaged. They need to be re-cleared.

There is a way around this however. You can buy a product like this. And apply it every few weeks.

Or just get them recoated: http://www.clearlight.co.nz/ was under $200 for a pair of E39 lights a while back.

Is around $150 through GT Refinishers in Penrose.

They do a great job.

$150? May as well just buy new headlight lenses. For the older (non-facelift) e46 a pair of new OEM lenses is about $150 including shipping from Ebay.

Locals wrecker are probably much cheaper for a good secondhand set.
