Euro headlights

Is there a way to install euro headlights on US 1M? If so where can they be bought and how much?

You can find them on ebay and some other places, they typically run about $1200 give or take a little.

If you're in it for the amber corner delete (which I am), check out OSS designs (in Florida)

http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=566924

"If no angels are ordered and you just want the amber deleted its $250.00 to open and close and delete."

"The amber corner delete is free of charge with an angel install"

(I have not done it yet, so I have no further info on their execution.)

I e-mailed them asking about logistics and whether I can stop by and check out their product in person, and they replied giving me an available day that unfortunately didn't work for me at the time. I asked them for an alternate date but have yet to hear back. I'll drop them a reminder e-mail week after next when I am back in the area and let you guys know.

As an FYI, it won't be cheap. Total for angels and amber reflector delete is $630, and if you go for the 'blackout' option to spray any internal parts (flat or semigloss black) that's an additional $120. And of course shipping both ways. I know myself that if I go for it, it'll be all the way and not sure I want to spend $750+ on lights at the moment given I've got other mods higher on the priority list.

In the meantime, LUX is developing a 5K kit which will match the stock LED eyebrow and could come out as early as this week, so may revert to that for the moment, but nevertheless I plan on stopping by and checking out in person OSS.

At that price it might be worth it to just buy Euro lights. This way you have OEM lights that werent taken apart. Plus you actually have 2 sets in case something happens or you can sell your US ones and recoup some of the $$$ (with the sale you may end up paying less than 750 for Euros).

Exactly my thinking, and biggest reservation going the OSS route...

Let's see what the ACM boyz muster

thanks buddy, please update this thread if you hear back from OSS.

The euro lights will be approx. $1600, I know OSS is about $650 plus shipping, The primary goal is to get rid of the amber corner, however I do like how bright the rings are, plus the free corner delete.

The install is not easy in both cases, as I would have to take off the front bumper completely, but I just badly want a euro-like 1M with euro lights and privacy glass ( I don't like the tint film )

I have them



Ordered from these guys

User Name: individual-car-consulting

http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/i...ar-consulting/

Here is there main website also:

http://www.individual-cars.com/

They're awesome, great people to deal with. Send them a message and ask for the Dynamic versions of those headlights and tell them you're from the US . They will order them from BMW Germany and then personality ship them out to you.

Contact Jori on this site. He can get OE Euro lights for a reasonable price and much less than $1600 from what I recall.

So I saw this post a few weeks back, ordered these headlights via emailing info[at]individual-cars.com for $1675 USD shipped, and then had them installed for my 1M at a local BMW Dealership for $405 USD for 3 hours of labor.

But I'm a bit concerned about the fitment... There seems to be a bit of space near the top side of the headlights. Is this normal? Can you guys check how much space there is on the top-end side of the headlights? Is this adjustable?

While I cannot slip my index finger into the top of the driver's side headlights (3rd pic), I can slip part of my index finger into the top of the passenger's side headlights (2nd pic). What do you guys think? Am I just being silly? Check out the installed pictures below.

They're the same as the US headlights in size. So that would just be a fitment issue with your installer. There are many different adjustments on these headlights to fit with the front bumper and the fenders.
