Headlamps

Post by jonnyodoherty »

I need both front headlamps asap for my BMW E21 316 1982 to get through MOT. I can get the pair for £85 each but i was wondering if anyone knows any alternatives. I heard that MK1/2 golf headlights fit? Crystal clear?

Thanks
Jonny

Where can you find them for £85 each?

I have bought a few spares but it's the mounts that are the problem, not the actual lamp. It's basically a case of you buy a pair and just tinkering till you find a way.

I'm at workshop tomorrow and will take the pics of e28 lamps compared to OE e21 items.

I thought i could but there falsely advertised. They cant get them.

Ahh right i found these which may fit:

But as you said it may take a bit of tinkering around to get them in.
Cheers mark!
