FS: New style euro free-form headlight for E36



Hey digesters, I recently traveled to Europe, and found out that the 
newer E36 3-er have free form headlights, not the elipsoid type euro 
lights that we can buy in the US.  After talking to a local dealer, I 
found out that BMW used elipsoid type light from '92 to '96, and from 
'96 on they switched over to the free form types, they are brighter, 
have a more even light pattern, and they are simply better than the 
elipsoid ones that was used before according to the dealer.  You can 
identify the new style euro headlights by looking at the new M3 broucher 
from your dealership.  They have little "dots" on the top of the glass 
cover across the top of the headlight.  You can also wire the city light 
to the parking light, so the high bean housing light up slightly when 
the parking light is lid, to give you a "Euro" look.  I already got a 
set for myself, they are awesome, you can use bulbs of your choice, I'm 
currntly running 100w for both high and low beam, but you need to 
upgrade the fuse.  They really make your car look good, the plastic 
cover turns dull on our US lights, these new ones are tinted looking 
glass material cover.  These are a little more expensive than the 
elipsoid types. If you are interested, you can email me at the above 
address.  I'm willing to take a trip again to Europe if demand is high 
enough, and negocoate with my seller, perhaps I can get a discount for a 
big purchase..... who would pass up the chance to go 250 kmh on autobahn 
again....<grin>, test driving my uncles' cars is quite fun.....:)
