Guys,
My Headlight on my 316 blew. Went and got a replacement for it but it does not seem to fit. I can't remember the model number nbut i know for sure it is the right one. DO you have to modify the metal surrounding the lamp or what? It is a single headlight setup.
Thanks in advance.

No. But it can be modified to fit.
Diameter of the lamps are the same. Lamp suports must be modified.

Push and twist. Might need to be quite forceful!
