I found these excellent condition headlights for my touring locally, would they fit in my car or does the touring use different headlights?

Nope they should be the same, but check that the plug on the headlamp levelling motor (if applicable) is the same.

HTH,

The Touring only has different tail lights. All lights on the front end of the car are the same.

hmm, I guess I will buy them either way and try them out, they are really clean from the junk yard for a decent price. The guy there said they won't fit even though they look the same but I will buy them and try them out.

Thanks

Took my old headlights out of my M-Sport when I bought brand new ones and put them into a friends '95 525iT. There's nothing different about them at all...

Oh, and be aware that unless you're replacing the entire light assembly on each side as one piece you'll need to get replacement bushings (#7 here http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=HE63&mospid=47410&btnr=63_0280&hg=63&fg=05) as they break very easily when you try to pull the lights out of the mounts. Some of them were already broke before I even tried to pull the lights out. You'll need 3 per light, 12 total if you do both of the high & low beams on each side.

Thank you all, it is a complete assembly on each side. I better buy them before he sells them to someone else.

Thanks
