Euro headlights with white corners

dean_g · 09-20-2011, 09:53 AM

Hey everyone,

Ok, so I absolutely hate the US headlights with the orange corners. Lucky for me my father is actually traveling to Portugal relatively soon and I may just ask him to bring me back the Euro headlights. Now my question is, can i just remove the stock ones and install the euro ones? Anyone know of the part number for these? I am aware of that OEM site but i believe that for US parts and not in this case the EURO headlights.

Any help with this topic would be greatly appreciated. Also, another thing I thought of was .. the new 1 series headlights should fit the 1M and those may be easier to find? Also maybe at a junkyard?

If you have some good positive input please feel free to help me.

Thanks in advance.

BMW Kirsch as an online catalog that can be used to find any part number for any version of their cars. Check it out!

I have ordered stuff from them, and while not inexpensive, they offer great service, and can get pretty much anything. I am looking at the Nokia N8 drop in charger for my arm rest, and have bought helmet accessories from them, along with various parts. They also have the limited edition 1M Coupe model cars!

man, that page translates nicely on chrome with google translate! (sorry for the OT post, but it could help if someone can't speak/read german).

Do you have adaptive headlights?
Xenon headlight housing without adaptive headlight was about 600 Euro each.

This should be the one you are looking for.

They are not heavy but each in a relatively big box that it might be hard to carry around.
You might need to put some handle to carry around.

This is where having an orange car helps... I have always removed orange markers from my cars but on this VO 1M... it doesn't bother me in the least for some reason!

Very interested in doing this.

$821 USD each (and that's W/O adaptive headlights)?! Damn...I'd rather spend that on something else.
