    Hi Guys,

    I have a new set available, they're $625 USD. Thanks for looking! This set is an excellent condition set, lenses have some light pitting / marks on them (please review the photos below) associated with very light use

    I accept PayPal and can ship at the Buyers expense (via USPS, 5-8 business days for delivery). I'm a professional and understand how to pack properly for international shipments.

    Shipping is $70 USD.



    Details:
    1) Imported directly by myself from Nördlingen, DE
    2) Fully functional set of E30 Euro Headlights (circa 1989 build date)
    3) City light wiring is included
    4) Trim Rings are flat black (as shown in the photos)
    5) Full Bosch Set (all 4x headlight units, see Bosch stamped emblems). Brackets are Hella.
    6) The passenger side main and high beam were resealed with clear RTV sealant after failing the water test.
    7) all 8x black plastic intermediary bushings have been replaced
    8 ) This set will included all 6x euro headlight wiring looms (a $35 USD value), photos of them forthcoming.

    Benefits of Euro Lights over North American:
    1) Euro lights provide a brighter, wider band of light and the colour of light is typically more clear. "Smiley" feature allows for lights to be redirected at the road surface for better lighting along the side of the road.
    2) Both the dipped/main beams and high beams take H1 bulbs, which allows for easier installation of HID.
    3) City light is a standard feature (a small 9w at the top of the dipped/main beam), which provides a light "glow" throughout the lens of the light.
    4) Most people consider them to be more visually pleasing, i.e. nicer look

    Why buy my lights over others, a list of detailed work involved:
    1) a 3-4 hour complete re/re of all parts for functionality test and cleaning
    2) re/re of all adjusting screws and cleaning with wire wheel to allow smooth movement of adjusters.
    3) Refinished Trim Rings in Matt Black (i.e. shadow line).
    4) removed all caps and cleaned mounting surface to insure proper fitment and remove any swell on the aluminum from weathering.
    5) I've been rebuilding these lights for over 9-years and have considerable experience.

    Concluding remarks: overall this is an very good set of headlights and they are ready to be installed and for immediate use. These Bosch lights are no longer available new, so this an excellent opportunity to grab a nice set.

                    Yes, E30 and E34 sets are different (the brackets and the mounting points for the adjusting screws on the headlights).

                    I finally have an E34 set after spending 5 months trying to find a decent set. They're a Hella set, condition is very good (will forward you photos once I complete the restoration work).

                    Cheers.

                      So, these are sold? I'm very interested in another pair in this condition or better.
