Is This A Good Deal?!

Mturbo · 07-17-2013, 02:00 PM

I'm upgrading my front (E92) to the LCI version. I have the opportunity to purchase these lights from Texas for $1,200 shipped without bulbs, ballasts or modules etc.

I hear that there are a bunch of modules that go with this light, modules for led, adaptive lights, drl etc. So I'm not sure that after I purchase all the additional hardware If this will still be a good deal...

Are these xenon or halogen? Adaptive or not? OEM/Aftermarket? More information will be needed...

Oem, xenon+adaptive. To my knowledge aftermarket lights aren't available for the E92's, believe me I've searched hi & low!

Those are headlights for an e90 though how do you expect to make them fit on an e92?

This; those lights won't fit on your car, OP. At least, not without extensive modifications to your front bumper/hood.

That's also a horrible price. I just purchase an AHL E90 Bi-xenon housing (no bulbs/ballast) for $445 shipped.

Good luck on making them fit.

You my friend, need to be closer friends with the search button and google... I don't want to rain your parade but you ask questions that can be done with some time spent on google and the thread search function.. and with research, one can learn that an E90 light fixture WONT be able to fit in a E92, like fravel has mentioned... If i'm being an ass, my apologies...

An ass not at all. I didn't search Google but I searched eBay and car-parts.com which if your not familiar is a site where dismantlers (junk yards) list their inventory. However, I typed in the vehicle information and that's what came up.I've been a mb driver for years and just recently crossed over to the darkside! Lol. Saying all that, I can't tell the difference like you vets just by looking at them; but sure glad I did ask, pissed isn't the word I would have been if I would have did a rookie and purchased the wrong lights!!!

My bad, I actually came back to the thread to take off the stupid post I made... I should have thought it out more than just blabbing off. You won't see me posting stupid comments, brother.

FWIW, if I am able to assist you in any way, I'm all for it. That's why we are all here for, arn't we? To learn and also help others.

My apologies, and I do hope you get the right lights for a steal of a price!

p.s AHL - google said its Adaptive Head Lights

Appreciate that tm. I'm back in Philly now but if I still lived in Pasadena I'd say let's go have a beer.

You've got my respect brother!

I'd love a beer right now, its in the 80s and a nice drive into pasadena sounds wonderful!

Please let me know when you do make a stop by good old Pasa.

Go ahead and buy them. They won't fit, but buy them anyway. Judging by your other thread, money is definitely nothing to you! Hahahaha

'AHL' is the abbreviation for adaptive headlights (the headlight projector pivots when you turn the wheel.)

I picked mine up on eBay.
