front headlight models

[jafoolii]

Hi guys. Ive been on ebay for some homework. Im looking at e36 front headlights. From one pic to another there description changes. One says bosch c1. One says bosch c2 and there is another bosch saying d1. Im confuse as to what the differences are and more to the point which ones I need for the 318ti?

Can anyone shed some light?

Lazoh... have u got a picture of your lights to hand if you have stock. Would like to see the back of the light. Mostly the connections. U have. On the back of your lights what kind of connection do you have? IS Is it a twist connection with a seperate 3 pin plug. Or are they like mine seperate wire going to each connection?

Sorry to ask

I have an H1 bulb in my headlight, I changed my U.S. plastic spec headlights to Euro glass ZKW.

The U.S. spec headlight uses the 9006 for the low beam and 9005 for the high beam. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately I did not know there was a difference in the glass. Sorry!
