I've done some searching and they arent easy to find, especially with lenses in good condition, and the sport package version so I only have a small amount of amber to remove (not the whole piece). my 2003 lights are mint and its tough to find ones that are.

unless i'm looking in the wrong places lol.


Dan nice work, I was thinking DEPO's eventually too but 5 bills is tough to swallow for headlights on a 9 year old car for me lol

I have a set from my 2001 with ccfl angel eyes already installed/amber removed sitting in my basement. I have Depo units installed.

Sway bar links, ccv and oil filter housing changed for $270 in labor cost. I provided the parts. No more leaks except for what's been accumulated on the skill plate foam.. Pressure washing that in the morning and now looking at the next thing to fix.. Real squeak sound and alignment...

LOOKS SOLID BRO! so you were able to hook up the rear fogs without the Trailer wiring harness because you were using your own switch, not the BMW euro headlight switch?
