    Need regular e46 driver headlight

    I'm having trouble finding a regular drivers headlight assembly for a 2001 bmw 330cic. Every one I seem to find generally have black housings, but I noticed mine is a grayish housing. see picture below. What do you guys think? This is just a daily and I don't want anything fancy or new, just a new one because the tabs on my current one are broken and the lamp keeps falling out. I'm hoping to spend about $100. Here is one I found on ebay, but it looks like it may have a black housing.

    Has anyone purchased these headights before and can testify that they match the factory headlight?

    That silver insert is removable so you will be able to transfer it into a good used housing that has a black one. First minute of this video covers it:
