My Ride: 2004 545i, Nav, Logic 7, sport pkg, premium pkg, sport seats, Hoen fogs, rear LED tail lights, super white license bulbs, heated front and rear seats, M-tech front and rear bumper covers, M5 trunks spoiler and finisher.
Desiring euro xenon headlights.
I am about to purchase a 2008 M-Tech kit from Tony and realized that the U.S. amber-colored version headlights will not look attractive with the amber DOT reflector mounted on the front bumper of the 08 kit. I've seen a couple of members here with the euro version headlights with the CLEAR markers on them and would like those instead.
1. Where can I buy the euro version headlights (HID) and how much should I expect to spend.
2. Can I purchase halogen '08 LCI headlights and take off the HID's from my '04 and put them on the '08's?
..............thanks in advance.

Doesn't look like you can buy just the housing. I should be able to get them from a local BMW dealer, but the Euro rate is crappy. I usually order parts from the States to save money.

Oh well, if the '08 LCI does not fit on my '04 545i, where can I purchase the regular, pre-LCI euro version headlights with the clear lenses. I've tried www.oem.com and called my local dealer (Bayside BMW) and was told they do not sell the euro versions.......but I've seen U.S. based board members with the euro versions on their e60's.

PM "TheGermanOne" I remember he had some for sale.
Your best bet would be to find someone in Europe to buy and ship to you (like TheGermanOne) or go on ebay europe and hope they ship to US.

LCI Headlights will not fit on pre LCI models. I have a set in a box because they didn't fit.
That sucks. Odd that the LCI tail lights will fit, but the headlights won't.

Pic of a pre LCI Euro model with Xenons and "fake" white markers (no light in them).
I would actually like to have the yellow US markers.
