Clear Headlight Help
I found a pair of facelift headlights on eBay and am about to order them, but was wondering if you fellas could help me verify a few things
My plan is to follow this method of just swapping the internals rather than cutting open a pair (http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewto...clear&start=15). So I should be able to remove my pre-facelift xenon internals and swap them into a facelift xenon housing? Thanks for the help! |

Hey,
your idea won't work, because you won't be able to flash with your highbeams after the swap of the inner parts of the pre-facelift in the facelift headlights. The inner lens of the facelift headlights is practically dead. The only purpose of the inner lens is the illumination of the inner angel eye/ring of the parking light. You need some new wiring and coding of the "Lichtschaltzentrum" (->Light switch next to your steering wheel). Unfortunately, there is no better way to swap headlights. Please note that I suspect that the ebay headlights are facelift XENON headlights. If you wanna buy some HALOGEN headlights, you have to put the pre facelift xenon wiring in the halogen headlights, change some wiring AND code it, so your highbeams work properly. Hope you understand me. The chapter headlight swap is not that easy as you might think... I've been thru it and decided to stay pre-facelift but include white side markers, black inner housing and some led angel eyes... |

Well shoot, I'm glad I didn't order them then
So my only route is pre-facelift clear xenons from an 2005, or pre-facelift halogen clears and swap the internals? Thanks again |
