I purchased a 90 325I.It had a lowbeam out,so I went to change it and found a problem.Looks like someone hacked out the projectors and put in sealed beams?Fixed the twisted and taped connections,and it pops the fuses every few days? Do sealed beams take a different relay? Are my sealed beams stock? Man I just don't know? Thankyou

Pictures might help.
If fuses keep popping there may be a reversed polarity or a wire getting crossed somewhere. Fuses blow when there is a surge of current to protect the components.
You may also have an incorrect fuse installed, double check that and make sure its correct amperage.
If you've got more wires coming from the car than you have to mate from the sealed beams, then its possible that the ellipsoid lights came stock and because of damage, the PO replaced them with a cheaper light.
I'm not 100% on any of these, but its a start.sigpic

90 325's came with sealed beams."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

You should have 3 wires for low beams instead of 2, right?"I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
