New replacement lenses

[BimmerWill]

Im in need of replacing my headlight covers so just wanted to double check that i order the right ones. From what ive been able to tell i have the AL headlights and not the ZKW ones. ECStuning has the best price including shipping that i have been able to find.
Do these look like the ones I should order? It says they are for AL headlights.
My car production date is 10/2000

Yes. You have a pre-facelift, and none of them came with ZKW's.

I don't think halogen/xenon really matters in your case either.

Alright thanks a bunch just wanted to double check to be sure.

That'd ridiculous...I wonder what the difference Is..how they attach to the headlight maybe?

Probably just an issue of volume... Much more cars without ZKW than with em. Or maybe Xe bulbs generate more heat so they need better plastic ?

Nope, I think they attach the same way.

I think AL/ZKW ones are about the same price for the facelift too.. not sure why the price spike from pre-facelift to facelift. That's why I just got my replacement lenses from Khoalty. I would have went the OEM option but I saw it as a waste to spend that much.
