    Difference between Hella and Magnetti Marelli > 4 Questions

    I. Is there a major difference in light output/bowl longevity between Hella and Magnetti Marelli?

    II. Additionally, looking at Realoem, there are many options for our headlights? I do not want 'zkw" obviously, but what are the diffrences between "AL" and "AL/TITAN"? Is the shroud black on the "AL" ones, where the shroud is silver on the "AL/TITAN"?

    III. I just want to make sure I'm looking at the correct lights. Am I looking at the correct P/N's?

    http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...29&hg=63&fg=05

    P/N for left headlight 63127165779

    P/N for right headlight 63127165780

    Ebay - Hella

    IV. Additionally, this hedlight specifies "Non-adaptive"? Does that mean the self level feature is not included on this light?

    Both are affiliates. I know this info is most likely buried somewhere, but I would never find it.

    Thanks for looking.

    Thanks Horney.

    I guess them saying "non-adaptive" is retarded on their part. I knew the sedan lights didn't look right or left, and only self leveled, so for them to say that...about a sedan light, got me thinking maybe they were referring to the self level function.

    Also, just FYI, the black/silver (titanium) shrouding is completely interchangeable between the ZKW and AL lights, I did so. So if you can find a part cheaper with titanium shrounds, go for it... Then just swap yours over.

    Good luck DW and find the best price. Having amazing lights is sooooo worth it, but geebus it can get pricey!
