For information : Date for splitting headlights
Posted: Mon May 29, 2023 2:19 pm
For information :
BMW E53 headlights were splitable with heat up to OCTOBER 2002, after this date they used a glue which made it impossible to split them,
unless you used a grinder to cut the glue out.
To be on the safe side I look for zenon lights pre May 2002. BMW date stamp their lights with a small( about 1/2 inch diameter date clock) on
the rear of the headlight.
Hope this is useful information for some of you.
