Need help identifying my angel eye

[mlt]

I have a broken park lamp / "angel eye". The problem is that the previous owner has installed these headlights from a different Z4, I assume they are from a newer (euro) model.

I'm trying to find out the part number for the actual ring shaped bulb. The headlights are Xenons.

Couple of pics:

Any ideas?

You say nothing about your car, model, year or even country your in so somewhat in the dark

They look like standard facelift zed lights to me, but fitted to a prefacelift model, so it should be just a case up of opening the rear cover and pushing a bulb in.

BTW It's not ring shaped just a standard bulb that reflects around a circular ring.

Thanks for the answer. I thought as the lights are from a different car, my car model would not matter that much. The car is from germany, 2003 3.0i Roadster (VIN LR80765 )

The car is at a warehouse sleeping through the winter so I would have liked to change the bulb in one visit.. If I remember correctly, you have to lift the car, take the weel out to get access to the headlights ?

In your second pic your angel eyes look a lot brighter and whiter then mine.. almost look like CCFL rings... unless if you have some LED bulbs in there.. in which case i'd love to get a pic of the bulbs your using - as i tried a couple and none lit them up like yours.

you dont have to remove the wheel to access the bulb... just turn the steering so the wheel is out of your way to access the light hatch in the wheel well.

It does indeed confirm retrofit post facelift onto a prefacelift model. If halogen, they were like for like swaps. If xenon likely the fitter did some rewiring/coding.
That said the park/Angel Eye should be just a standard bulb (501 I think) however as Aquazi says they could be a different or aftermarket brighter halogen bulb or perhaps an LED??

When you have modified cars you need to pull the parts to see what's used else you risk just wasting time and money, but in any event a cheap bulb and 5 minute replacement job.
