WANTED E85 Xenon headlights with clear lens indicators

[Sky-drive]

Been a while since Ive been on the forum, good to be back!

Im looking for a pair of UK xenon headlights with clear indicators. I have xenons already fitted to my Z4 but after almost 7 years of ownership decided I cant live with the ginger indicators up front anymore! Anyone got a pair for sale please let me know here on this thread.

I maybe wrong but I don't think you swap pre and post facelift xenons like you can halogens. You have to swap more parts than just the lights for it to work.

If I am wrong then this seller on ebay has a left and right xenon for sale.

Or your other option is to buy broken headlights like these 2 and split them open and change the hockey sticks

thanks for the info, very useful ... and eye-watering: the ebay seller wants £1000 for a pair of xenon headlights with clear hockey-sticks ... thats way outside my budget. Also makes me wonder what my xenons with orange indicators are now worth??

You're not.

The wiring is different between pre and post facelift. I think you can get your current LCM flashed - in which case you can use facelift xenons. FYI facelift xenons aren't cheap so you're looking around the £300-400 mark (per unit). Those black ones linked are much higher because black xenons are much more rare. Simple supply and demand.

Your most effective option is to undertake a "cut and shut" IamOrion did a good guide a few years ago link here.

From what I've seen on ebay pre facelift Xenons are around £300 per unit.
Maybe, assuming yours are black like the picture, you could get a bit more...

But you're stuck in a loop, since xenon and halogen aren't interchangeable. Of course, assuming you sell your lights after purchasing new ones, you could offset the "project cost".

I've just picked up a second set of xenons, Zed is a keeper, so these will go on the car and my originals will become strategic spares

Some great advice, thanks Kis. My Zed4 does have the black xenon headlights but with ~136k on the clock and only the 2.5 engine it may be a better idea if I went down the cut and shut route.

I’ve stumbled across a pair of my spare clear indictors. Recently it seems I have Z4 spares coming out of my ears if you still want to do the mod PM me?
