E36 Coupe headlight options...

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Are there any? Or should I just look for stock replacements? Need indicators too, one was held in with a cable tie.

Cheers

I think anything other than stock looks naff. There are these type: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/exterior/listing/3191005377 but I just don't think they suit the e36.

Second hand units are available for ~$60-80 a side and they should be fine if all the clips are in place. You can get a replacement gasket for them and polish the glass if need be.

There are also the genuine Hella options that come up second hand from time to time. They also look f**k ugly.

I'd look at a good set of original lights. Unfortunately retrofitting a decent projector into standard housings is a WOF fail now, so thats a no go.

Thanks, yes not feeling the modern looking retrofits at all. Will source some used ones and restore.
