You need to see if this glasss is there and clean it with a microfiber cloth. If it is not there take a thin screwdriver wrap a microfiber cloth around it and gently clean the hole where the LED's ia located and do that a couple of times and you light output will be like new. (Above in the picture.) You can also order the protective glass if it broke or fell out.

Summer mode. I feel like I should do an M760 next year because last BMW V12. The Alpina does bring a touch more elegance...
