    I want your trashy headlights

    EDIT; Looks like I've found what I need, thanks to all.

    Help, please.
    Since some previous owner or servicer couldn't manage to properly install headlight bulbs the bulbs came out onto the rubber seal burning nice holes in them and the plastic triangular shaped bits that holds them.
    BMW offers the rubber seals but not the triangular piece.
    I'm hoping to find someone willing to remove these good pieces, seals too, from an otherwise poor set, need both side for low beam. Pre '00 only
    Buehler?

    Are these for halogen or xenon? If halogen, I may have some at home, but I will have to find them, I have like a billion parts in boxes, I’ll pm you later on tonight if possible. Just the low beams? Or both?

    Sorry, I got home late last night, never even thought about this, pooped out from work, passed out after the shower. I won’t be getting home until after 10pm tonight, I gotta go through some bullsheet certification class, I’ll try to remember this.

    Sorry dude, I found two low beam mounts, and as soon as I unscrewed them from the housings, they were so brittle they all broke up into pieces. I couldn’t find any of the rubber seal caps. So trekking out to my storage unit was a big waste of time. Sorry.

    Try contacting a member called M5XTu, he’s out in Arizona. He would have everything light related that you would ever need.

    I have a few sets of pre-facelift headlights, but they’re Xenons. I don’t think I’ve ever parted out a car with halogens...

    Thanks to member M735is . He's a good guy willing to make some effort to help another member of this community, and for a very small sale.

    Thanks for the offer, I think I'm covered now. Pretty sure the Zenons are different anyway.
    Thanks to all that offered and tried!
