I like you stripy block paving!


Those look like they were likely that from the factory- suit the Z4 well.
Reminds me of the e63 6 series which is similar
They looks from distance almost as good as oem bmw on my miss F11, from half a yard it is obvious they are no oem ;)

I've also got clear side repeaters but unable to fit as badge cannot be taken from old ones - need to order new set from stealership, they are bloody glued to reapeater!

Bumper off, and some wiring too if you want to enable halo rings. took me about 6-7h spread over 2 days, but i've had internal plastic parts broken so spent a lot of time to fix. i think for an professional no more than 2-3h. will do bumper off again at some point larer as spotted that passenger side a gap between wing/light/bonnet is not ideal.

Generally, they fit same as factory ones.

These are Sonar from ebay, fitted with adjusters. also available in chrome. light quality is better than i've had on old oems, they was 15 years old after all...

The original E85 Z4 headlights are notoriously poor mate so these must be an improvement. Thank you.

They are improvement indeed in terms of light, but require adjustment. Will do tomo night ;) passenger side is too right, need to put it right, i mean left ;) ;)

Adjusters are not like on oem, need to be done from wheel arch side and requires small and very flexible hands :)

Potentially on my list to install some of these, although I'll try and retrofit some brighter halos first. I can't get my drivers side one to seal after changing a bulb, and also the rubbish chrome effect interior has started to lift. They look awful now, but I should get back the cost of changing them as they are still really in demand.

Are they the 2xcite versions from eBay/Amazon?
