2004 BMW 3 Series lights complaints

Filed Mar 25, 2009 · Lights · NJ

1. Over the lifetime of the vehicle the xenon bulbs are hot enough to burn the plastic reflector that shines the light on the road. As this reflector bowl burns inside the headlight assemble light output is severely diminished by at least 60-70% this posed a major safety issue to myself and others. 2. The headlights made by zkw were installed on bmw sedan's model years 2003-2004 only. It is a constant occurrence and is very dangerous. I cannot see the road in front of me without my fog lights. 3. I was forced to purchase two new headlight assemblies that were priced at $1,000 per side. There is no alternative which is very troublesome for thousands of owners of this model year car.

I find the halogen headlights on many cars very distracting. I am not sure but I think they are on german cars. I am told they are well liked by the drivers of the owners of these cars but I find them hazardous for the cars which are facing them. These headlights seem to me as dangerous as someone using there high lights against oncoming traffic. Have you heard this complaint before? Is there anything to be done? Thank you for a response. Edith r. Marks I found you on google.
