Unnecessary thread revival: I just bought the primary parts from eBay UK for just under $50 eBay link and eBay link. Problem is, I'll be in Afghanistan when they arrive, so I won't be able to do the install until October.  But, the parts are officially on the way. I'll have pics of success (or failure) before Halloween! __________________

Second tour here, and trying to do an in-place consecutive tour. Survey says: I love it. Except of course, not being able to source real parts when I actually NEED them. __________________

Surprisingly, no. There's 4 on-base alone, including a tds. And the E46 Conpacts are around the island, too. Love those headlights! __________________
