Hi and Welcome to my Euro Lights Thread.
Ratings are out of 10 and are totally subjective (opinion).
Price stated includes shipping to US or Canada (non-remote locations. These locations have a extra charge.) Shipping is with UPS and takes under a week, tracked and insured.
EURO PROJECTOR (SMILEY) HEADLAMPS
The Euro lights offer better light dispersion, and are more aesthetically pleasing according to general consensus. They use H1 bulbs along with a push-fit 5w sidelight/city light located in the low beam top centre. The bulbs are sometimes included but never guaranteed, and the caps and wiring pigtails are included. To fit to a US/other non-equipped car, you will need to splice the pigtails/connectors in - a simple job, for which there are DIY guides on the forum.
Electrically Adjusting sets have a motor on the rear that tilts the Low beam up/downwards when you move a dash-mounted switch (supplied with these sets). This is useful for cars with hitches on them, so that you can adjust down in order to avoid blinding other road users when towing. Motors are not tested.
Ratings are out of 10 and are totally subjective (opinion). The ratings are for the lens clarity/condition, not the overall unit. Any other defects will be noted. Adjusters are generally serviceable with surface rust, sometimes though they are bad and I will try to note this. They can be easily taken out and cleaned with wire wheel and work perfectly, if you so desire to do that.
Unless otherwise noted, they are all made by Hella. Any writing you see on the lenses is liquid chalk marker and rubs off without effort.
Set 107:
Lens Condition RHS Outer /10: 7.5
Lens Condition RHS Inner /10: 7.5 - with a large stone chip in the middle which is circled
Lens Condition LHS Inner /10: 7 - with a crescent shaped fingernail-sized crack that doesn't affect light dispersion and is not immediately obvious
Lens Condition LHS Outer /10: 7.5
Frame/Adjuster Defects: none
Electrically Adjustable Set with Motors
Price: $175 shipped
FRONT FOGS
Hella Projector Front Fog Lights. Can come with plugs and dash switches for an extra $5 if you need them to install. $175 shipped
REARS AND CORNERS
Rear Inner (Bootlid) Fog Lights, Sedan or Touring available (dependent on stock), with bulb fittings (all cars should have wiring in place, wiring pigtails available). An excellent safety upgrade especially in some wintry Northern States.
Multiple sets of these, in excellent condition. $150 shipped anywhere in N.A.
Genuine Hella Rears with clear turn signal indicators. For Sedan model only, as fitted to late M5 & Sport models.
Limited stock, ask about availability. $250 shipped N.A.
Sometimes we have a set of smoked or clear front corner markers/turn signals. Just ask to see what's in stock.
Non-genuine: $65 shipped for a set. $30 when shipped along with a bigger item like some lights.
Genuine: $95 shipped for a set. $70 when shipped along with a bigger item.
LKM-B ECE
$75 shipped anywhere in N.A.
($50 if included with another bigger item such as lights)
Please specify if you want one to suit a third brake light or not.
REFURBISHED FLASHLIGHT
$67.50 shipped each
At long last, we're able to offer these Refurbished Torches / Flashlights again.
We were the first people doing these - before BMW actually stopped selling them, in fact.
Technology has moved on, and it would be possible to make completely new internals and fit LED bulbs to these, but we chose not to, in the pursuit of originality (at least in design).
So what has been done?
Internally, the batteries are the main focus. The old Varta ones have long since been discontinued (in fact our very first batch of these all those years ago used the last of the supply of those original manufacturer batteries) and so now we have sourced a battery of the same specification and output and there are of course two of these in each new unit.
The old sprung brass strip has been replaced with a new one - this is the piece that forms the connection between batteries, switch and the other parts of the circuit.
The in-line resistor has been replaced in each unit, regardless of the condition of the original, as this is what protects the batteries and circuit from overloading via the car charge circuit.
The connecting wire has been renewed and a new one soldered in where necessary (a few have been suitable for re-use).
The bulbs are mostly the originals, and of course have been tested and cleaned. We do have new bulbs in place where necessary, but usually they are fine.
Externally, we have cleaned each case up thoroughly. This does not mean a quick wash in a sink - every casing has been cleaned in solution and then undergone a micro-mesh cleaning process to really get them back to great condition, of course leaving the BMW logo intact.
Every lens has been finely buffed then dipped in a special clear lacquer formula (not nail varnish, not car paint lacquer).
The thumb-switch has been cleaned as well, and the backing plate where the charging points are situated has also been cleaned inside and out, and the charge contacts freed from any corrosion developed.
Then they have been glued back together with a liquid poly-glue similar to that used by BMW originally - no superglue here, as that just fails in a couple of months.
What results is a beautiful, fully usable OEM torch suitable for use in any E24, E28, E30, E31, E32, E34, or E36 as fitted originally.
We are offering these at $67.50 shipped, or $120 for two.
