but anyone know where I can find the euro? (figure I might as well take a look at riding the ambers while Im at it)

Do you have adaptive headlights? If so, there is a specific part for adaptive headlights.

Have you done anything to it recently? Have you opened the back cover at all?

[mechavore884]

yeah there adaptive I know I can replace the 2 modules (one for the bulb burning and shizz and the other for the adaptive module)

[mechavore884]

Id like to see euros preferably or to remove the amber (price dependant)

[Andrewcoja]

If you want Euro, you can do schmiedmann.

condensation can be fixed, i think. do more research on here or e90post

euro are on german ebay and here in a classifieds forum from some guy in germany/spain

Schmiedmann also has the regular parts.

Search on realoem.com (I don't know if it works for euro models) for the part number of your headlight and then search.

Dessicant. Get a bag of dessicant. Throw it in the housing. Close it up and take it out later on in the day. Boom condensation gone.

It happened in my gti when i made a new set of retros which made me seal it better than i thought i did lol.

Lowes. Home depot. Google bro im for mosdef sure they sell it locally

[Andrewcoja]

Usually when you buy electronics, there will be dessicant in the box somewhere.

lol just coped some....now for my next question (you guys have a BUshel of thanks from me) I found some SMC units on ebay for $100 or so...do they have to be coded to the car (FYI I could care less about the adaptive portion I just want my xenon bulb to burn again LOL)

Thats my headlight $250 shipped

[Andrewcoja]

That's adaptive? I may buy it as my driver's side has something wrong with the angel eyes.
