i was browsing my local junkyard today and came across a 740i. it was an e34 i believe. cani use the hella smiley lights from those to go into a e30 325is? they look very similar, but i dont think the fronts of them are as convex, and they may be a bit bigger. Does anyone know if this swap will work? Thanks!

The 7 series you're thinking of is a E32. The E34 is a 5 series.
The E32 and E34 lights interchange but neither are a direct fit in to the E30. -
^ This, If you get them ridiculously cheap you could cut off and re-glue the mounting tabs in the correct place but that's not ideal at all. Keep an eye out for a set of E30 ellipsoids in the junkyard. I happened upon a set for $40 just had to replace the smashed passenger high beam.1991 325i - "Scambles" The Daily Driven lightly modded.

Aren't the e32 elips able to be put into e30 headlight buckets? Or something like that?For all things 24v, check out Markert Motorworks!Originally posted by mbonanniComment

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. The mounting tabs ON the ellipsoid bucket are in the wrong spot. They do not fit as is.1991 325i - "Scambles" The Daily Driven lightly modded.
