Ive notcied the European E90 comes with the Clear headlights, I just got my American 325i and I'm dying for those clear front headlights, the American is yellow/orangy, looks like crap compared to the Euro style, I tried ordering it from the dealer and they told me those parts arent allowed in the US...BS! man! theirs always a way to get around that, anybody can help me on how to get these lights!?

pray!





Sorry, I'm in a stupid mood


Seriously, there are a few topics about this issue, dunno where though

[E90Fleet]

Do a search, lots talked about this

You need complete new headlights

If I remember correctly
a) there have been some on Ebay
b) you can fly over to europe and buy some
c) you can get someone in europe to buy some and send them


but make shure you get the correct ones

Does anyone have pics showing the differences??

[LWL]

Do you have Xenon or non-xenon? Here is the link to ebay

Above link is for non-xenon, the seller also carries xenon one too.

Speak to your DOT to change that stupid old law

[DaveCM5]

Wow..the clear ones look nice!

Notice the front park distance control on the Euro! Look closely.

The squares under the lights are the retractable headlight washers, and the "dots" I thought were for the active cruise control?

The dots are the Park Distance Control. The Active Cruise Control uses a camera mounted under the front of the car.

Correct, the active cruise control sensor sits in a little dome in the "mouth" on the cars that have it

The bumper ones are front PDC

This could change.

When the Z4 first came out it had the orange accents around the lights. At the dealership yesterday, I noticed they are all clear now.

This is true, but did you also notice the hideous orange reflector on the bumper?

so true, I think the orange corner looks better than the GIANT reflector, I'm glad I have the 04, rather than the 05!

maybe we're lucky to have the orange corners and no large orange circle prominently placed at the corners
