Question ZKW help

i managed to salvage a pair of guenuine ZKW headlights from a local junk yard.

They only need
-an intensive cleaning,
-the drivers side lens,
-and the two rear coverings for the high beams. (this is the square panel that seals the light behind the bulb)
(maybe new rubber gasket seals)

i am trying to find genuine ZKW parts but am having a extremely difficult time finding anything besides the lenses (which are expensive for real ones).

Does anyone know if the rear cover pannels are the same from real ZKW's and the depo knock offs? or where i could purchase any of the parts i need to complete this project?

Default clarification

i am aware that ZKW headlights were on euro models from '91-'94 but when i go to realoem they claim the part i need as #5 described right but the cover i need is square instead of oval

http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...74&hg=63&fg=05

can anyone clarify if these covers will work or even the seals (part #2)?

I ran into problems using a Bosch lens instead of ZKW.
The problem was with fig 9.

I have four in good condition ZKW H1 lenses.
But I am living in The Netherlands.
