E36 Coupe Front Lights

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
My front passenger side lights have been smashed. It seems to be just the glass covering. Is this replaceable or does the whole light unit require replacing?
How much would it cost?
Thanks for your help.

	Hello The glass cover on the front lights is held on by spring clips and is easily replaced . There are two types. The later one has 'nobbles' along the top edge and the earlier one doesn't. If I remember right, they changed sometime in 1994. The BMW price for these is about �60 just for the glass if I remember rightly. You can get them cheaper outside of the dealer network. The cheapest option of all is a second hand one of which I have 2!! Let me know if you are interested?

Replaced mine with In.Pro angel eyes :-) I have two full passenger side headlight units with some broken lugs so that's why I am happy to sell the glass separately - at the moment, they are just adding to my large collection of clutter (otherwise known as BMW parts I have no use for!)

	Don't suppose you've got some nice AC Schnitzer aluminium pedals for a manual E36 cluttering...?

	I don't have any cluttering but as I make my living exporting BMW accessories to all corners of the world, I have access to them new. Can't remember how much they are exactly but I seem to remeber that they are just over or around �100 per set. Nothing by AC Schnitzer is cheap but then you get what you pay for.
