I've just noticed I picked up a stone chip in my headlight cover on my compact and when looking on eBay I've found that 90% of the headlights that come up are for the Standard E36 rather than for our cars.. That wouldn't be a problem but apparently the e36 headlamp doesn't fit the e36 compact and just wondered if it was more an issue to do with the connectors and the unit itself rather than the glass.. If it's just that then I could buy a cheap headlight and unclip the glass and throw away the rest of the unit but I wonder if anyone else has had the same issue before I go ahead and buy one. | | | 08-06-2015, 12:08 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2014 Location: USA Posts: 444 | e36 sedan is the same with compacts so look and buy replacement lights for e36 sedan 4 door. they will fit our cars | | | 09-09-2015, 09:23 PM | #3 | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2014 Location: Tyne & Wear Posts: 10 | Breaking a full car bud still got the headlights if your interested | | | 09-10-2015, 02:14 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Keep in mind there are 3 different manufacturers and they are not interchangable. I think...Bosch, Hella and ZKW? __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 09-14-2015, 07:53 PM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2014 Location: Tyne & Wear Posts: 10 | Done quite a few personally not a massive issue to swap a few things about | | | 09-15-2015, 04:51 AM | #6 | Member Join Date: May 2015 Location: Carnation Posts: 44 | Likewise, an E36 housing goes into an E36.
