Euro Spec LCI Headlights.

Hey, can any of my military people up there in Germany get a quote for Euro Spec LCI Xenons? Wondering if being in Germany might make it cheaper for you all.

I can't remember if they have the LCI lights but I know a couple of Germans want to swap 1 for 1 with the American lights cause they want the amber corners ( its beyond me, don't ask). However I believe non of the guys that want to swap have adaptive steering ( your lights move when you turn the steering wheel) that's the only reason I haven't swapped mine.

Generally speaking... what ever the price listed on RealOEM.com... take that $value and cut it in half... and that is what it will cost you in euros over here. (w/o German tax)

The EU xenon headlights(two AHL ones)will run about 700 euros w/o the 19% German sales tax. IF you really want them... I would look at the Blackline LCI thread for the German BMW dealers who ship to the USA.

Well I was thinking more along having one of you all buy them and ship them through military mail to my FPO address. I guess Id be stuck with paying VAT then though. Thing is to my knowledge these overseas vendors won't ship to FPO address. Ill have to get the part number and see what they charge at the stealership here in Jerez.

If your in Rota Spain you should be able to purchase down there. I would not think the price difference is all that much different.

Pricing parts in Italy was the same as Germany when I was looking for a replacement FOB.
