Laser Lights

Does anyone know what the cost to replace the laser lights would be? I don't have them, but I just want to know for future reference.

They are a $6,000 option on the i8. I take it that they might be that much to replace, but they might be a little less due to mass production of them.

I asked. Germany: EURO 9,250. Fitting only (assuming replacement units with no damage to fix) EURO 650.

Nope, on the newer BMW models that come with full LED standard and Laser optional, the Laser upgrade is much cheaper, only €1,700 on the 8er in France.

PS: just realized OP is asking the replacement cost. Well the German price quote given above is very strange since that was roughly the price of the Laser option upgrade alone over the LED when ordering the i8, not actually replacing the units, yet the order upgrade alone has become way cheaper on the newer models.

T'was me that gave the German pricing. For transparency, I spoke to friend who runs a DACH dealership and asked him what the cost of replacing laser lights was, should such lights be destroyed in a crash. It was higher than I expected, but spares are seldom as cheap as factory ordered build options. However, I'm happy to be proved wrong.
