Headlight interchange for 2004 Z4

[NewToZ4]

Hey all,
While I have done much research into this topic, I unfortunately live in the US and therefore there aren't many replacements available for the standard interchange of 03-05. I have seen that some headlamps are listed as 03-08, and I was coming on to ask whether this is a valid interchange for all z4 headlamps, or just specific ones etc. Additionally if any one knows of 04 Z4 graphite AND clear turn signal headlamps for sale, and could link I would be forever grateful.

It might help if you state halogen or xenons required?

I believe that I have halogens currently, but In honestly I dont mind which. Would that mean that 05-08 is apart of the interchange?

If you have halogens fitted, xenons won’t work without extra components to power them, halogen lights were standard with xenons being optional all through the model years.

Ah okay, but say I get the extra components. Would the headlight then fit and plug like normal?
