E21 Twin Headlights - Help

[phealy]

Hi,

I've recently acquired a 1982 323i E21. It currently has a single headlight on both sides. I would like to return it to twin headlights. I have acquired a pair of grills, but not sure what headlights/housings I also need. Any/all advice welcome.

Many thanks,

Paul

if you have the std. metal buckets that hold the headlights , you can use any 5"3/4 headlights off any other bmw. e30 headlights will fit easily in e21 headlight buckets, or maybe also possibly modify the e30 buckets to fit the e21.

otherwise I may have a fully refurb'd set of headlights and buckets for sale or another set in need of a good clean and some paint if interested?

would you sell the single headlamps and grill?

Ive got a spare pair of the plastic grills if you need them, but you should be able to get someone to do a swap, I would have thought

Hi Dammizi, I've not taken the existing grill off yet, but my guess is I only have buckets for the 7" lights that are on there now. I'll send you a message re the lights that you have. Many thanks

Hi 105e, I'm not sure if I'll keep them or not. If I'm not I'll let you know. Need to find twin lamps first. Thanks P.

I've got a pair of twin lamp grills, thanks. Just need to sort the lamps.
