Why cracks in headlight glass are a serious problem
Even a small crack in the headlight glass creates the conditions for a loss of tightness. Such damage allows moisture and dust to enter the optics, condensation appears, and the internal elements begin to actively become contaminated.
Over time, this inevitably leads to a deterioration in road illumination, corrosion of the reflectors and, sooner or later, to headlight failure. That is why replacing BMW headlight glass is a much more cost-effective solution than waiting until the optics need to be completely replaced.

The condition of the BMW 530 e60 headlights at the time of contact
A BMW 530 e60 with a complex headlight problem arrived at our car lighting service in Kyiv. The optics began to illuminate the road noticeably worse, and condensation began to appear inside the headlights from time to time. At one such moment, when the headlight fogged up again, the owner decided not to postpone the repair and contacted us for diagnostics and headlight restoration.
-
Identifying the cause of fogging
During the initial inspection, service specialists quickly identified the main cause of the problem — numerous cracks in the upper part of the headlight glass. It should be noted that in the absence of these cracks, the headlight glass would have been in almost perfect condition, but it was precisely this damage that became a critical factor in the loss of tightness.
-
Diagnosis of internal optical elements
During further diagnostics, the condition of the light modules was checked using an endoscopic camera. They were found to be in fairly good technical condition, but heavily contaminated due to prolonged exposure to moisture and dust.
Based on this diagnosis, an optimal work plan was formed:
- replacement of headlight glass;
- replacement of car lamps;
- thorough internal cleaning of all optical elements.
-
Fixing the light flux before repair
Before starting the restoration work, service specialists measured the light flux from the dirty modules with old car lamps. This was done to visually compare the results before and after: between a dirty and clean lens, old and new glass, worn and new bulbs.
-
Headlight removal and detection of additional cracks
After removing the headlights from the car, other damage became apparent, including cracks in the lower part of the glass, which were less noticeable without removal.
-
Internal cleaning and installation of new glass
After thoroughly cleaning all internal elements from months of moisture and dirt, the headlights were prepared for assembly with new glass. The headlights were assembled with a new sealed seam, left to cure for the required time, and checked for any signs of re-fogging.
-
Replacing bulbs and adjusting the light
After installing the headlights on the car, new Osram D1S car bulbs were connected, and the car itself was sent to a stand for professional light adjustment.
-
The light output of the new bulbs was also re-measured — now without the obstruction of dirty lenses and cracked glass. The new device readings confirmed a significant increase in lighting efficiency, which directly affects the comfort and safety of night driving.
-
Final result and headlight protection
After replacing the glass, cleaning the interior and installing new bulbs, the BMW 530 e60 headlights looked almost like new. To keep the refurbished glass in perfect condition for as long as possible, the service specialists applied SunTek anti-gravel polyurethane film.
