I Have A Euro Headlight Idea ... please see inside

magmd · 01-24-2008, 01:26 PM

OEM xenons from US dealer were about $1200 each side...doubt prices have come down much.

magmd · 01-24-2008, 01:30 PM

BTW...I looked into this about 18 months ago. You need part #'s to find out cost.

Only part #'s I had were from units that were delivered from germany...the usual place most people have obtained their Euro xenons here.

Those part #'s do not exist in the BMW system....

From realoem:

AHL euros (Left hand drive)
Left: 63117161671
Right:63117161672

US spec AHL
Left: 63117161669
Right: 63117161670

The Euros are not in the system probably because it's not suppose to be available for the US/CDN market, if one can call a Mexican dealer, they probably do have euro part # in their system.

The thing to remember, folks, is that you're not going to get a deal on a new pair of xenons, the MSRP is set. Remember, US has the cheapest BMW price in the world, you really think that parts are going to be cheaper in Germany OR Mexico where their car prices are higher than the US? Best bet to get cheap euros is to contact junkyards. But then you run the risk of getting faulty ones. You pay to play.

These are the part numbers off my Euro Headlights. Got them awhile ago from germany....from same "distributor" that ADHD used to get them from. The numbers matched other sets bought from other members. When they are put into BMW system in USA AND in Mexico....they do not exist. Good luck.

I wasn't thinking when i gave that suggestion, actually bimmers are much more expensive in China

jetblk328i · 01-24-2008, 10:42 PM
