Hhhhh Mmmmmm.....euro Lights Or Mason Jars?!?!?!?!?!?!

[Paul in NZ]

Euro lights have the metal thing on the opposite side so it wont glare into oncoming cars... which would be on the wrong side of the street for us here in the USA.

since they were take offs there could be a bunch of ozone built up on the glass and reflector. put a drop of dish soap in them with water and shake them around to clean them out.

most euro lights would be LHD too...The uk is RHDand maybe some others too,but vast majority of europe is LHD

okay so it took me like 3 hours to install these bitches...is there another way to go about it to clean them instead of taking the whole unit apart?

and as far as the motorized thing a majig goes....huh???? i dont have anything like that...there are the three on the mount and three more that hold it to the car....


am i missing anything?

you could probably remove the assemblies with the lights attached and do the soap and water rinse trick, did this yesterday with Denny G's light and it worked. I was surprised that the gray went away that easy. After that we heated the lights with a hair drier and let them sit and all the water evaporated. Take the grill off and it will be a lot easier to work with. The grill is easy to remove and speeds the process significantly.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Took the grill apart on my M-Sport to change out all of my headlights and it was a bitch getting the grill off.

Took the grill out of a '95 525iT to put the better of my old lights into it and it was a breeze.
