I searched and came up with nothing, but what does everyone think of these headlights? Are they any good?

Don't waste your time with procar parts. They sell cheap krap and they have horrible customer service. I think your better off buying a set from someone more reputable. If you don't believe me just look at their ebay feedback rating...it sucks!!

The cheapest I would go are DEPOs. Mine are put together pretty well.

Seen thoes in person, they are pretty crappy in quality.

Doug if you enjoy the hunt, just bypass the USA and go to German Ebay. I bought my used Bosch ellipsoids for about $90 USD plus shipping.

[m3f_Sirius_880bd69485]

go to Ebay.De Search under E36 Scheinwerfer. 1 Euro equals roughly 1 dollar. I use my Mac's translation program to decipher the ads and ask questions. Many Germans speak English (one advantage from winning WW2) Often you can use Paypal

As long as your time is worth as little as mine, it can be a bargain. Just don't go for the cheapest ones, but rather the ones that are in the best shape. One of mine had some issues (easily corrected) that didn't come out in my translation program. I foolishly bought them seperately. One other neat thing about true German headlights is that they have a Step motor to adjust the horizontal aiming of the lense (Stellmotor) in case you are carrying a lot of wide load buddies back from Oktoberfest. Mine aren't hooked up, but I might go to the trouble of fitting the dash wiring one day.

I agree, big change going from the us lamps to the ZKW's. So much better.
