Pre-facelift Lights

[nike001]

Hi all. I acquired some lights today from a guy in the bodys shop at where I work and he informed me that he had some AL lights that I can buy off of him to use to fix my burnt out ballast in my Bi-Xenon AL's.

I finally got them today and they're not Bi-Xenon, so the ballasts don't even fit. So I have these sitting here now and I'm wondering what I can get for them?

I have the whole headlight bracket, projectors, lenses, shrouds, ballasts and ignitors. Everything except the whole headlight housing itself.

Hopefully someone can give me a ballpark price so I can get rid of these.

I have no idea what they're worth. But they might be something I'm interested in. I'll let others chime in on the $$.

Also, have you tried giving them back to the guy you bought them from?

Is there a part number on the reflector frames? I'm trying to find just the frames on RealOEM.com, but no such luck :(

And how does the back side of the AL Xenon Projector frame line up with the AL Bi-Xenon Projector Frame? Same pattern?

Okay, let me know when you decide!

I'll look when I get a chance. I'm not sure how they line up, since I don't have both of them apart. Plus as you can see, I received these new lights with the projectors and everything already mounted to them. They're held on by some Torx bits.. which I don't have.

Do you have the housings? I need pre facelift xenon housings to mod to fit the bi-xenon shutter solenoid. The AL reflectors are the same for Xenon and Bi-Xenon...just confirmed that earlier today.

Do you have projectors already? IMO (outside of this sale) I would think that just buying these and snapping them in place of your current halogens would be much easier than spending all this time for Bi-Xenon.

[Hornung418]

No, I do not have them. I could have had them for $550 plug and play all OEM parts, but I don't have the cash to spend on that because I got railed by Amtrak with a transfer fee and had to pay an extra $100 just to get to NYC :(

But I need the 99-01 xenon housing, then I need to make a little box for the Bi-Xenon shutter solenoid to sit down in, but the reflector frames are apparently the same dimensions so it should be a simple plug and play after the housing mod. Do it right, or not at all ;)

[nike001]

Then why not just buy my whole set up? I'm not trying to push this on you.. but I'm mainly just wondering why you don't just purchase something like this rather than just the xenon housing/headlight bracket and go from there. It seems like this way will be a lot less work.

Or I'm not understanding the direction you're trying to go..

Look at my pic. In between the ballast and the ignitors.. what is that? Is that the bi-xenon solenoid? I'm dumbfounded as to what it is.

[Hornung418]

Post up any part numbers that you have for the ballasts and ignitors. I'll run em on Realoem and see what's up. But if they all came together, then they're Single Xenon. Bi-Xenons have 3 inch lenses. I've got a lead on OEM AL Bi-Xenon projectors for $75 shipped.

[nike001]

The only PN I could find is on the xenon housing/brackets. One is 1305320694 and the other is 1305320695. I can't find any PN's on the ballasts or ignitors

[Hornung418]

:( Well thanks for trying! If you do part them give me a PM! I'll snatch the frames from you.

[zj96sc]

can you post up some detailed pictures of the back of the projectors?

Those part numbers don't seem correct, should be 11 digits

EDIT: here you go - http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=AV53&mospid=47725&btnr=63_0550& hg=63&fg=05

[nike001]

I know, i've googled the numbers that I posted above and there were a couple Russian results and after google translated it for me.. it seems like that guy has the same frames as me and couldn't find any other numbers besides those two as well.

[Hermes]

I've had similar issues when I call the parts dept and read off numbers. They just ask me what the part is and look it up for me

[nike001]

That's what I'll have to do tomorrow at work. I'll be sure to post (I hope) the correct part numbers here afterwards.

[Hermes]

They should all be in that link I posted (if it works, on my phone)

[nike001]

Oh sorry, I didn't see you edit it. I just did some googling and I've found a few PN's. I'll reflect the PN's in the OP as well.

Ballast/Contr Unit part #: 61 35 8 376 273
