Original BMW Headlight Cover Plug for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 Series, M, X, and i5 Models (2009–2025)

Genuine BMW cover plug 63-11-7-489-213 closes an opening in the headlight assembly on 2009–2025 BMW 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 Series, M, X, and i5 models. BMW's parts name for it is simply Plug. On the headlight it works as a cover that keeps dirt, debris, and moisture away from the electrical components inside the housing. Headlight housings use small plugs like this to seal access openings. A missing or cracked plug leaves the lamp interior open to road spray and dust. BMW put this version into production in March 2017. It is made in Germany and sold individually.

Original BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.

This plug supersedes the earlier number 63-11-7-409-862. BMW marks the change as retrospectively interchangeable, so the newer plug also fits cars built with the older one. One part number now covers a very wide run of F-series and G-series chassis, from the compact 2 Series to the X7. That makes it simple to stock and simple to reorder. The plug is sold individually.
