The Random E46/ZHP Question Thread

[MrAdventure]

I need a front caliper spring. What's a good place to buy one?

These guys... (sorry, it's Friday)

Will Headlights from a 330xi fit our ZHPs? I want to say yes but double checking

Also, there is no difference between the headlights that have the washers and ones that don't right? That is just a change in the trim piece and an additional option, correct?

Ok good. Just paid $540 for new used headlights and didnt realize it right away. The seller is including the trim pieces & wash nozzles with the purchase. If the paint matches I am thinking DIY upgrade as my ZHP does not have that option

thanks for the quick reply egiles!

Unless you live in a heavy snow and winter weather climate I would avoid the wash nozzles. My 530i came with them, and every 5th use of the windshield washer it automatically activates the headlamp washer, spraying not just the headlamps but getting all over the hood and bumper. Pulled the fuse to deactivate the headlamp portion, and if I ever have to replace the front bumper for what ever reason I will pull the rest of the system. If they had a separate stand-alone activation system from the windshield it would be a much better system IMO....

I find the washers to be highly annoying as well I just busted on of the hose ends off the headlight unit while doing some work up there. so I eliminated them.

Bummer. I end up hitting lots of bugs in my travels and was thinking it could be a cool feature to add to the car, but maybe I wont bother

They don't really do anything other than make a hot mess of the front of your car. I'm all for options but this is the only one I wish I didn't have. It makes removing the headlights a slight PITA, and I do that somewhat often.

(Ok maybe the moonroof as well but I don't mind it, just want the headroom)
