Hi I have the standard headlights on my 320 ci. I love the headlights that are round but I don't know what they are called. Were would be the best place to get a set, the dealer or ebay? Dave |

BTW, don't forget to do the "tape mod" if it's not been included yet (I think Ben was looking into it for sometime after Christmas). This involves getting some "metal repair tape" from B&Q or whoever, putting the rings on it, drawing around them and then neatly sticking the tape onto the back half of the ring which stops the light filling the reflector of the original lights and spoiling the "eye" effect.

You can also get non xenon projector headlamps that look like Xenons (but arent) .. just ibncase you didnt mean Angel Eyes.

No worries .. Careful if your buying a set off the Bay .. theres some cheap tat out there that could end up melting if you put too high a rating bulb in them. Best to look at breakers and 2nd hand parts specialists like www.essential-bmw.co.uk Good luck. |

You can still put the Angel Eye rings inside the xenon / projector casings. |
