Xenon Headlight Question

I purchased a set of Xenon's off a forum member and was under the impression that it was for a 99-01 coupe model. However when i proceeded to install them the Xenon headlight assembly did not fit correctly at first as they were actually for an 02+ coupe model with the screw in corners. I was wondering if anyone else has retrofitted an 02 Xenon headlight into an 99-01 coupe. And if retrofitted would i just be able to purchase the screw in corners and have everything fit correctly?

Thanks

im pretty sure you would need new front fenders. check out this for what you need to do, its very custom and expensive.

he fitted facelift coupe xenon headlight on a prefacelift sedan.

the problem is that the gap for the turn signal (corner) isnt wide enough to accept the facelift corner/facelift headlamp assembly.

Wow that is one extensive project. Yeah i believe he had to get custom front fenders because he was putting on headlights from a coupe to a sedan. I'm going to try and get the screw in type corners on those headlights and see if they fit correctly. I'll take some pictures when i get the chance and post them on here. If anyone has done or know someone has done this as well please post here or PM me !

the facelift coupe headlight assembly and coupe turn signal still wont fit, even if it is a pre-facelift coupe, not a sedan. its just to wide.

If you still have your stock headlights you can do this http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...logen+housings

02+ coupe headlight is the same as your car with the exception of the screw in corners. you can get screw in corners with one of our sponsors here.

So i can just purchase the screw in corners and they should fit perfectly? I searched around the forums and saw that many people retrofitted their Bi-Xenon assemblies ie. to my stock halogen headlights. I guess that would be my last choice as i dont have experience in doing it.

yea, make sure you contact jlevi or the sponsor before making the purchase to make sure you got the right ones.

i tried using a friends screw in corners from a 02 coupe and they did not fit correctly. I guess the only choice i have is to either retrofit them into my halogen housings or purchase P46s or something.

are you sure you have an 02+ coupe headlight then? take a picture. we'll be able to identify the headlight for you.

also, you might want to try using your halogen headlights outer lens and the headlight trim.

yeah these headlights came off of a 02 m3 ... i don't know why im having so much trouble getting it to fit correctly =/

i just got your pm. if you could bring 1 corner from your friend's 02 and your headlight, maybe we could find a solution.

i could do that if your willing to help out. i'll pm you my number
