E30 headlights

Post by AndyBaur »

I'm not talking about the bodge to fit the E30 twin headlight unit.

I want to know if the bare E30 light units will fit into the E21 frame. I know the E21 shared light units with the pre '82 E24 & CS coupes but I thought a set of E30 smiley's or even some of those funky project lights might fit into the E21 frame with the 3 screw surround.

I have a set of pre '87 E24 lights that might work.

It's not.

I just want to know if I can fit bare E30 lights (preferably ellipsoids) into the E21 headlight frame.
