Headlight lenses... what does everyone think of these?

[MTechnik540i]

what is in.pro?

I'd really appreciate everyone's help and advice since I JUST bought my 540 and I need to replace some headlight lenses... if it's almost as cheap to replace the whole assembly, that's fine... I just want it too look nice. Not ghetto.

It's not going to be worth the time and money to replace your lenses...it's likely you'll have some type of problem out of them after you've went through the pain of installing them.

I picked up a set of Bosch euro spec ellipsoids 'smilies' (for the smile like cut out that's under the ellipsoid itself) for $125...it's likely you'll pay closer to $150+ for a set..but it's well worth it, much brighter...look better when they're off, and they're very high quality...just find you a nice set on ebay or ebay.de

If you're really on a budget, just pick up another nice set of US ellipsoids...most will have some pitting. In that case simply check out http://www.deltakits.com/dki-catalog/co1.html

My $0.02

Thanks so much... $150 for both sides ain't bad at all. Where did you get your Bosches.

Those are cool... I think I found a decent set on Ebay. I just don't want the " eyes".

I also need some of that lower bumper grill plastic inserts... anyone know a good spot for that?


Nice pics BTW!

Post a link before you buy...some are really close, and not actually made by Bosch/Hella. There's another company Depo that makes euro ones, that are similar quality to in.pro

Depo's are probly more popular than in.pro....

Make sure you reseal the lenses...

Thanks for your guidance... I definitely want to get the smilies and get the right ones.

I couldn't find any that said they were bosch... searched up and down.

These looks like the best bet right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

plus they come with an adapter harness, which sounds like it would save me some time on wiring.
