Would anyone be interested in a GB on E90 eurospec headlights

number9 · 06-10-2006, 08:58 PM

i'm interested if it really is plug and play

i wanna replace my current xenon adaptives...

^^ it's not going to be plug n' play. Some rewiring will need to be done in order for the adaptives to work completely. There seems to be a slight difference between the Euro and U.S. spec headlights (other than the amber piece).

E90 owners with halogen don't care for adaptive James, its an easy decision for us, just get us a good price, and we'll buy. I'll personally take charge of the GB if you wish, and get on everyone's backs to buy.

Eurospec headlights, non-adaptive. I'll work to get you 10, but make sure you get a good price on them, and then sell them to us for a good price. That way everyone is happy.

Get a good enough price and I think the GB will fly past ten in no time.....

Thanks for clearing this up. I noticed you had clear done on your car but you were not happy because u said you wanted the addaptive feature.

that's not going to happen for awhile as BMW Parts has the exclusive on these for a set period of time. Once that agreement is over you'll see it being sold for less.

tl_boy · 06-13-2006, 11:22 PM

how long is it exclusive?

I think what we need is a international wholesaler, maybe German, who is willing to sell.

not sure, depends on the deal they worked out w/ BMW Parts...could be a year or more. But when Valeo finally got to sell the ecodes for the Audi's the prices drop crazy low.

bavarian19 · 06-15-2006, 05:22 AM

So whats the word creative??? is it a direct plug and play???

Would it be possible to just purchase the headlight housing???

Hey bavarian19, I took my head light off this past weekend. It appears to me that there is no reason to buy the housing itself because I don't see how anyone could disassemble the internal component. Anyone who disassemble the internal component are either nuts or psychotic. I don't have the skills to do it and if there were instruction on how, I would still not do it. It is like spaghetti...Just MHO. And no one is going to sell just the housing knowing how complicated the internal component are.

People do sell the housing only. I bought them from Roveractive and had the dealer install them. No problems reported and I've had mine since March.

This is just the assemblies without the lights...

This is the entire headlight with the lights and all included...

beaudrek your completly mistaking bud.. ur wife could have done the swap bro..Those lights include the inside guts the only things that are missing are the bulbs and ballasts! Those are easy as hell to remove! THe ballast is the silver box on the outside of your headlight and the bulb is the main bulb that has a metal clip holding it..Its easy as hell to remove.
2screws and a clip..

Isn't that what someone is refferring to when he says "just the housing"? :It seems the two options are the assemblies/housing or the entire headlight, right? That's what I thought Bav19 was looking for (the ones I purchased)

ADHD · 06-19-2006, 10:29 PM

hes talking about jsut the housing NO inside guts at all!

bavarian19 · 06-23-2006, 04:35 PM

So, I never got an answer... whats going on with this???

foofighter · 06-23-2006, 05:04 PM
