Need headlight part

I've finally sorted out the headlamps and thought I'd share how it was done. If anyone else is in the same situation, at least there's a repair suggestion now on the board. I can't really say why I…

Need headlight part

Thanks Bozman, I'd really appreciate it. However, I have a feeling that the pre facelift ones don't have them. From the pictures I've seen it doesn't look likely. If you could have a quick look just…

Need headlight part

Thank for the link Richard. Those are quite expensive, the aluminium ones aren't that much dearer so I would probably go for them. However, it's the socket that's causing the headache, the part shown…

Thanks for your reply Gordon. Unfortunately, I had to dismantle the headlamps to confirm what had broken. I wasn't at all surprised to see the adjusters broken to bits but did not expect to see a bro…

I've got a headlamp I'm breaking, but from an earlier car, I'll see if it has this socket, but don't remember seeing anything like this. It's a '99 car, non xenon. Let you know tomorrow. Cheers, Bozman

You are entitled to a refund of your payment, but not the postage e'Bay will accept your claim. I received an item bought on e'Bay only to find that it did not work in my car. (Although it did work in the house. I contacted seller he refused to take…

Thanks for the reply Richard. I should have mentioned that mine are the later, '2001 on' headlamps. From what I can gather through trawling the web, BMW don't sell the adjusters for these lamps, hence the aluminium aftermarket (and much stronger) on…

Merry Christmas everyone! I've got hold of a set of xenon headlamps for my e39 off eBay. I had hoped they were ok but it turns out the adjusters have broken, not too much of a problem but dissapointing nonetheless. These are the little things with…

Fan motor anyone? 7 Replies
