OEM substitute headlamp units

[sclass]

Wsup,

I'm looking to replace my headlamp units, corner lights, foglamps, and tail lights. Where can I get OEM quality units and what should I be looking to spend? CR Auto offered me headlamps for R969-00/per and fogs for R342-00/per, I have no idea of the quality though. What do you guys think? I also need driver's side ///M beadings...
Just by the way, they also offered a power-steering pump for R2,280-00 if that helps anyone :rollsmile:

:thumbs:

Pity you are not in cape town. Clifton's M3 center sells the depo stuff @ reasonable prices.

You could check from goldwagen as well, they also sell replacement headlights etc, not sure about the quality or brand, but it might be worthwhile to have a look.

//M beadings - nearly every scrapped 316i has a set on - M3's missing theirs !!:roflol:

Oh yes Goldwagen how can I forget! But how can I be assured of the quality? Has anyone replaced their units with non-OEMs?

Or maybe a better option is to have my current units cleaned if that's possible????

 

[Sankekur]

I should be possible to clean, if they are just dirty. Have head some mixed reviews and opinions of depo lights, but overall it seems that they pretty good, so if you can get them then it might good bet. Maybe give a goldwagen call and ask if they have replacement lights and the brand, then look up the brand on the internet, should give you an idea what they are like.

Good call Sankekur, will do.

Whatever you decide, PLEASE don't do Autostyle ones...

I have a pair of oem E36 coupe tail lights in excellent condition. Depends on how soon you need them though, they are in storage due to a house move and will probably take a little while to fish them out. Let me know...

I'm not in a rush but I'd love to take them off your hands when you find them. Clear indicator lenses yes?

Hellas@ damn, lol!

No, its the original amber indicator lenses. You looking for a semi-clear set?

no issues, going to be a bit of a mission to source oem semi-clears for a coupe. They pretty scarce...

CR Auto say they stock Depo (Taiwan) brand headlamp units. At R969-00/ea is that a good way to go?

The lights are good. But the price isnt.

Cliftons here sells them @ R750 ea. If you can organise courier I could probably get them for you here. Maybe there are cheaper places though.
