Howdy folks,

A while back someone posted on E36M3 about replacing the E36 lowbeam lens and reflector with the projector lens and reflector from an HID-equipped E46 headlamp assembly. It really seems to be a nice solution since the US headlamp pattern is so diffuse. I want to track down 2 trashed/salvage E46 headlamp assemblies that were fitted with projector lenses and reflectors for use with Xenon HIDs. As long as the projector lenses are intact, it doesn't matter if the headlamp cover or the outer housing is in rough shape, I'm planning on extracting the lenses and reflectors and bonding them into my E36 assemblies. I just need the lenses and reflectors from the inside of the headlamps, I don't need HID bulbs, ballasts, etc.

Does anyone know to what graveyard partially damaged E46 headlamps go? I'm going to ring some salvage yards on Monday...

btw - all you CA and FL people can smile big, we got a BLIZZARD coming in new england!
