Hi guys, do you have 'dirty yellow oil' inside the laser headlights bulbs when the lights are on? Please see the pictures below. Thank you!

take it to your dealer. these should be sealed so there's probably a leak in there

I ordered a X6 with laser lights, I am wondering is it a very common problem for all models with laser lights. If that's the case I may have to delete the laser lights option, since it's limited is US anyway. |

Yea... Dealerships are ALWAYS going to try to turn away work if they can. Shady MFers. All of them. This is why I do all my own maintenance, fluid changes, etc. I don't care if it's free, they suck.
And... they hide behind their "BMW mechanic Coveralls" Trust me.... if they can't plug a computer into the OBD port and have the computer tell them what's wrong....... they can't fix, diagnose, or even make an educated guess about a mechanical issue. Anyway, that is absolutely unacceptable. Bring it to the dealer and demand replacement (or repair??) Is it on one side, or both sides?

There are a lot of complains (around 10) for such issue in Russia (reading their forum). Their dealers told that its normal and do not affect its functionality (same BS). Guys prepared collective claim and submitted via lawyer to BMW Russia.

These lasers are supposed to be sealed. Due to probably limited or modified spec of them allowed in the US, they probably open them here, modify and load it back to the vehicle during the assembly process. I am just guessing.

Here is from a different angle. You can see other reflections off axis like the orange of the internal housing. There is a lot going on inside these lens housings. Last edited by MystroX5; 12-06-2019 at 10:10 PM.. |

The modification in US is done by software, so it shouldn't affect the inside

FWIW, my Laser Headlights are completely clean, nothing yellowish around then at all. April 2019 production, Canadian delivery.
