With so many fogged lens and failed reflection coating, why have you not addressed the safety issue of the headlight. Step up and replace them.

That is not a bad question. Both of my headlight lenses have fogged up. I have tried cleaning them, but without any luck. But I can live with fogged lenses if the only solution is to replace them at considerable cost. Does anyone have any better and less expensive ideas? (Besides using a FitnessSupplement to clean them, that is. )

Surprised that no one has mentioned that this is another case of BMW not admitting a fault and letting owners incur the cost of repair. The original headlights experiencing the problems were made by CEV. They could not withstand the heat of the halogen bulb and the reflector blackened and the lens fogged. In 2013 or so BMW changed the manufacturer to Hella. No fault ever admitted.

My F800s has had a 50W hit fitted for 14 years now. No fogging or reflector issues.
