Are you?.........I havnt seen ANY offers submitted or accepted on the forum, which is the correct way of agreeing a deal. This keeps everything transparent and fair for all forum members. I’m quite sure you cant just declare “hey everyone else im having these”. Can a moderator please confirm.

Aye, ok, I posted comment stating my interest, and that I had sent a PM as I was also asking if ranski would post. Confirmed via PM - so I'm not just randomly declaring it without speaking to the OP first. However, you are correct that I should ALSO have conversed here as well.
You don't need a mod to confirm, I can tell you already that's the way things are supposed to go yes... but I also wanted to secure the lights AND ask details about postage hence why I sent a PM. I can post screenshot of PMs should you so desire Mr Z
To follow rules, ranski could you please confirm in this thread that I've asked to buy to the 2 lights I mentioned both in PM and my comment above (I committed to buy, just awaiting to hear postage cost so I send the correct amount)

Not sure if you’ve spoke with ranski, but I’ve said I’ll take the passenger xenon with broken tabs so that you may have the one with that tabs intact

Will PM now and await reply
Haven't you got enough already
The amber set I got given have all broken tabs (beyond repair) and the clear set I have the drivers side has been repaired previously on the rear, if I’m doing a full on retro fit that’s planned I want to make sure they are 100% as don’t want them failing in 6-12 months
Will probs just give all the left over bits away as it will just be a bunch of the insides and broken/cut open casings

Ahh fair enough!
I'm still trying to source a Xenon Drivers side! Quarry Motors want £450
That's crazy money when a set of xenons went for £150 the other day that I missed out on. I did pick up a Passenger Side xenon for £75 delivered, in excellent condition, so just need a decent priced Drivers Side

Not sure myself... When I bought my car, they were already broken, the previous owner had a front shunt, but generally I suspect they just get brittle with age and vibrations etc make then snap eventually.
BMW do sell replacement tabs that screw into the case. (You have to remove the excess of the broken tabs first)
good to know thx.IAmOrion said:Chris_D said:reet, thx
In case you were curious - these (These are for LEFT side, but they obv make a right side too 8) ):

might be a good investment for contingency against breakages during the removal/replacement proc.
