BMW 5 Series E39 Left Hand Side Headlight Lens (1995-2004) – Genuine OEM

If the left-hand headlight on your BMW E39 has gone dull, yellow or cracked, this genuine OEM left-side headlight lens is the factory-correct way to bring back clear night-time vision and the crisp look your 5 Series left the showroom with. Designed by the original equipment supplier for BMW, the lens matches the exact curvature, clip points and optical pattern of the part that came on every E39 sedan and touring.

BMW specifies impact-resistant polycarbonate for its headlight covers. This OEM replacement uses the same material, plus a baked-on UV coating that keeps the plastic from hazing under South Africa’s harsh sun. Unlike many aftermarket copies that lose their shine within a year, an original lens holds its clarity for many years of driving and washing. It also preserves the engineered beam pattern your halogen or xenon bulbs need to pass roadworthy checks and avoid dazzling oncoming traffic.
