I recently got into a car accident and now I have to replace my headlights. Do I buy the 4-door or 2-door headlights? I thought the Ti takes 4-door parts in the front end but I wanted to make sure.
I'm also looking at some angel eyes so any suggestions would be much appreciated. Is ebay a good place to start? The lights on there look kinda rice rocket-like which is what I DON'T want.
thanks, |  |  | | 09-20-2005, 04:31 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 |
http://www.umnitza.com/ seems to be a popular place among members. there is discussion over which brand to get, but a search should turn up some results. IIRC, all headlights are the same. corner markers are for the 4 door though. __________________

www.umnitza.com My brother got his angel eyes there. For your headlights, I've heard that you can't go wrong with ZKW headlights. If you have the money to spend, Bosch and Hella (not the celis one, but the european OEM ones) are good too. -Randy [edit] you beat me to it Aceyx lol. __________________ 97 Jet Black 318ti Sport.

thanks, | For your headlights, you need to get the ones for the sedan (4D). Umnitza has the headlights with the angel eyes already built in them. They are very good quality and they are plug and play. Check my gallery if you want to see the quality of them. http://www.318ti.org/gallery/showpho...500&ppuser=642 __________________

Go with oem ZKW's or Bosch ellipsoids, all of them will fit the ti, there is no difference between 2 & 4 door headlamps. If you want angel eyes, go with www.umnitza.com. Also, I highly recommend an HID upgrade while you're at it. __________________  | | | | | 09-21-2005, 12:40 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: England Posts: 177 |

NOTE: headlights are the same for US-spec cars.
this may vary by country. __________________

If I need headlights, do I need to get from the same year e36, I have 1995 Ti, I may have headlights from any e36 (touring, Sedan, Coupe) ? | | | | | 12-25-2010, 07:55 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 |
Bloo;
all e36 headlights are the same fitment. The corner lights, sidemarkers, and grills changed between years and models, but not the headlights. __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.
