Karosserie: Question from Sweden (Scheinwerferglas) E38 FL

[Turbovin]

Hello

Hope you can accept me asking this question in english. I can read german pretty well with my school german but my writing is no good.

Well to the point. I have a 2000 Highline carbon 740 and I'm wondering if there is an alternative to the BMW dealers where I can order the headlight lenses (schweinferglas, lichtscheiben, abdeckscheiben) for the facelift headlights?

I know that Bosch used to have the lenses but I mailed Autoteil24 and they said they no longer were available to order.

Also Magneti Marelli had lenses with part number W0133-1664287 but I only find them in the USA and most of them will not ship to Sweden or they do ship but with ridiculously expensive shipping.

I've seen on Ebay.de that there are some lenses from Poland but the seller said that they won't fit my car with the xenon headlights. I thought the BMW original lens is the same between halogen and xenon?


So it seems that my only alternative is to get from my BMW dealer but they are about 220 euro each.


I would really appreciate if anyone could give me a source of new lenses for a more reasonable price.

Feel free to answer me in either english or german.

Vielen Dank!
Schwedisch E38 fahrer.

Laut ersten Forumserfahrungen wohl zu empfehlen und es gibt keinen Unterschied zwischen Halogen und Xenonscheinwerfern:

Thank you.

Seems that they fit nicely. Was worried about they quality when they are so cheap but they do look and sound good in that thread.

Just wondering what this seller was talking about when he said they wouldn't fit my car.

"hi there are differences, our glasses are for halogen lights, doesnt fit to xsenon.


- dis-autoparts"

But I guess I can just ignore him and ask how much the shipping is to Sweden.

Ich habe mir die "Gläser" auch bestellt, Preisvorschlag bei knapp 24€ hat gepasst. Ich denke man kann auch mal mit 20€ starten.

Jemand hier im Forum hat gesagt, dass die Gläser bis auf den "Bosch" Aufdruck eine identische Beschriftung aufweisen, das heißt, sie sind sowohl für Xenon, als auch Halogen geeignet (beides ist am Originalglas zu finden).

Ich kann das aber erst bezeugen, sobald ich meine Gläser bekommen habe.

also in ebay steht bei dem polnischen anbieter doch dabei:

Artikelstandort: Lublin, Polen

Versand nach: Weltweit

und ich bin der meinung dass auch schweden zur welt gehört
also einfach bestellen, bezahlen und bekommen

außerdem ist Wochenende, da sitzt nicht jeder vor dem PC. Denke mal, dass ist in Polen nicht anders!

Yes I do know, but last time he didn't want to send to me because of the Xenon issue but I wrote that I'm willing to try them anyway on my own risk.

Guess I'll have to be patient til monday

Finally got my Ebay glasses today and tried it on the driver's side.

Fitment was really good, although in one corner there was still some leftover material left from the manufacturing but it was easilly removed with a knife.

Really happy with these. The price is truly great for this kind of quality.

Example pic. The strange coloring is from the sun outside the garage.

Hejsan och välkommen :-)
Har du kollad med schmiedmann.se?

Edit:

Du kan också kontakta www.ortynski.de
De sälja många tyska bildelar. Har haft en bra affär med en Hella lampa tidigare. De finns i Hamburg, men självklart kan du handla på webben.

Hejhej, tack så mycket

Schmiedmann säljer originalglasen för 1500 kr styck, dessutom med 13 dagars leveranstid så det är inte så intressant.
