    FS: Bosch and Hella Lighting Upgrades + Biggie Smalls

    I have collected several lighting upgrades that I hope some of you can use:

    There's two sets of Hella 7" + 5.25" Grill packages, affectionately known by some as "Biggie Smalls".

    The first is a brand new, still-in-the-box, complete, grass-fed, free-range package.
    Maybe the last one on the planet, but who's to say?

    Price: $375
    shipping extra

    ^ Sold!




    The second set is not new, but is in excellent condition with perfectly intact grills, great high beams, and H1 bulbs, but no wiring, original box, or installation instructions. I cleaned up and repainted the high beam mounting rings.

    Price: $250
    shipping extra

    I also have these other lighting upgrades:
    - Three complete Bosch 7" headlight assemblies (ideal for the Biggie Smalls above)
    - Two Hella 5.25" H4 high beams
    - Genuine BMW 7" trim rings
    - Genuine BMW 7" headlight buckets

    Due to the Bimmerforums limit of 5 images per post, I'll detail them below as this thread develops.

    Here's a detail of the second set of Biggie Smalls:
    BiggieSmalls-6.jpg


    And here's the the pair of complete Bosch 7" headlight assemblies needed to go with either of the Hella grills. They have the sockets for European spec "city lights", too.

    They are all NEW headlights and buckets, with all of the mounting and adjustment hardware. The chrome trim rings are new genuine BMW pieces, but the only ones available these days have the plastic stops for the headlight washer/wiper system. I have removed the stops, but they are included if you want to put them back over the pairs of little holes around the trim rings.

    Also, they have new Osram dome-style halogen bulbs.

    Price: $240/pair
    shipping extra

    I also have a single NEW headlight just like the pair above, except that it has the regular trim ring. No bulb.

    Price: $115
    shipping extra

    NOTE: I just checked the price for a complete new pair of 7" headlights at Walloth & Nesch. It came to $338.08 (USD) with shipping to the US and after a 20% discount for the lighting promotion they are currently running.
    I've adjusted my prices above accordingly.

    Here are the rest of the items mentioned in the thread title:



    Two Hella 5.25" H4 low beam headlights. Installs in the standard 320i/323i four-headlight system. Bulbs included.

    They are covered with BavAuto clear urethane headlight shields for protection from flying road debris. One of these headlights has a shallow fracture that you can see in the photo, but it doesn't affect the beam pattern and has not grown bigger (see photo #4).
    Original boxes and product literature included.

    Price: $35/pair
    shipping extra

    Hella-Lowbeams-4.jpg Hella-Lowbeams-3.jpg Hella-Lowbeams-1.jpg Hella-Lowbeams-2.jpg



    Finally, here are some 7" buckets and trim rings, with some of the hardware needed to begin assembling a set of 7" headlights for use with the Hella Grills above or for a two-headlight system found in the basic euro market 315 and 316, using stock BMW OEM grills.

    You can get more new parts from Maximillian Importing or Walloth and Nesch, but they regularly come up on eBay too.

    Price: $40
    shipping extra

    I might take the Hella H4 low beams, but can you re-do the pics? Not showing up. Just wondering if the glass comes off; I've got extra glass. Thanks.

    I have reinserted the photos and hopefully they will continue to work.

    I haven't seen Hellas with removable glass, but these definitely do not come apart.

    Yep, definitely want (Hella H4 low-beams) them.
    Can it wait a couple of days until the hurricane passes? Thanks.

    Sure, we can wait for the storm to pass, although you might want them as soon as possible because they have those protective urethane stone shields on them. Could come in handy with all that flying debris down there.

    I hope you're laughing with me.
    Just shoot me a PM when things settle down and in the meantime, stay low.

    Thanks Manny.

    As of today, everything else is still available.

    Absolutely, I'll start the begging....now.
    I mean, all of the credit cards let us slide on payments this month "because of IRMA"

    NOTE: I just sold another item from the batch of stuff above and this seems like a good excuse to bump the thread.
    Everything not marked as SOLD is still available as of this date.

    It's also a good opportunity to remind all of you to click the links below for the other things I still have:

    I just last week finally got around to installing the set of biggie smalls I purchased from you back in Sept. They were perfect.

    +1 for a great seller.

    Not yet, still working on removing the old foam hood insulation -- going on about a week now.. what a major PITA.

    Hopefully will have some new photos by the time C&C rolls around in about 2 weeks
