Z3M Headlights - One only 6 months old!
Evening all,
Collecting all my last bits together for sale. After my xenon retrofit project I ended up buying quite a few sets for various reasons. My last remaining two are up for grabs. Neither have been dismantled/played with in any way.
Passenger side - Bought second hand off ebay, fully functional and in good condition for its age. The unit does have one broken mounting tab but with the 3 remaining fixed in place it has no detrimental effect to the unit. £90 posted
Driver side - less than 6 months old and only travelled 1000miles max!. I planned on buying both sides new to use on my retrofit project, unfortunately they cost something like £400+ per side new so I only got round to purchasing one side. The headlight is in pristine condition with a few very tiny marks. Replacing the headlights with new makes an incredible difference. The photos below are a prime example of this. Anyone looking to carry out this update can save a few hundred quid buying this unit and purchasing the other new etc.. £220 posted , may seem steep but it cost me double this!
Cheers,
James

Re: Z3M Headlights - One only 6 months old!
Disagree, Chinese tat is not a substitute for OEM it is also in no way related to the price of BMW parts
P.S I have bought and sold 5/6 sets over the past year and in the usual 10+ year condition they usually sell for £200 - if they don't sell this time round they will be relisted

Re: Z3M Headlights - One only 6 months old!
I'm sure they are but the cost of non-original parts has no bearing on genuine. I'm sure there are alot owners like myself who have no interest in anything but the BMW part especially since the copies bare no resemblance to the original part. The almost new headlight is difficult to price because you really need someone who's hoping to refresh the front end by buying new, they will be out there just few and far between (i was one of them!)Zedonist wrote:Not all of em are made in China, some are made in Taiwan
As a thought for the night, the cars were built in the USA, but the USA buys most parts Asia pacific, guess which countries sit in that arena..........................
Plus i am interested if you do not sell on ebay
thanks for the interest

Good luck with the sale.
For reference the angel eye ones are as near oem quality units as you will ever get though

Re: Z3M Headlights - One only 6 months old!
Thanks Jon, i'm sure they are, if they looked similar to OEM then alot more owners would see them as a suitable substitute. Unfortunately I was never fan (to put it lightly) which is why I would rather put over £500 and blood sweat and tears into converting OEM units to Bi-xenon
