Hella headlight = OEM ?

Game · 03-04-2015, 07:12 PM

I may need to replace a headlight and see Turner has a new headlight for $700. (E92)

I've never heard that Hella makes our headlights. My question is this headlight OEM?

Just popped the part number that was on turners site into realoem and it gave me the correct results.

Valeo is the oem part. Look for a used one here or ebay, much cheaper.

Yeah definitely the route I'm going with.

Definitely agree with going with Valeo cause now that I think about it, I do remember it on my headlights

E92/E93 and M3 lights are made by AL. E90/E91 xenon lights are made by ZKW. E90/E91 halogen lights are made by Valeo.

AL Lighting is also the RAS syndrome-esque name of "Automotive Lighting Lighting". ZKW, as trivia, is Zizala Karl Wein. Now, could we start calling our cars Bayerische Motoren Werke? J/K

Not exactly true - eu preLCI xenons are Marelli, preLCI halogens can be both ZKW or VALEO, LCI xenons can be VALEO, Marelli or AL.
