Headlight question

[ScottyWM]

Not for me, but my neighbor's E36 '93 318is. One headlight assembly is fogged, the other has been replaced. What does he need to replace the cover? Is it just a cover or does the whole assembly need to be replaced?

Can you point me to any E36 maintenance sites like Bruno's E34 site? ...Other than roadflea...

Thanks,
Scott

The US plastic housings seem to be sealed units that need to be replaced as a whole.
Euro versions have a renewable glass cover. That’s what i can gather bout the e36 lights from the ETK and online parts calalogs. I may upgrade to glass euro units @ some point myself, they get coolie ellipsoid lenses too.
No place like Bruno’s site. Yet at least.
I should gather what decent links i have and post em up.
