Unfortunately they are a slightly different shape as my intention was to swap lenses over but i had to replace the whole unit...I have one lens you can have as the other was rusty...The bulb holder seemed a bit temperamental but you are welcome to have it....Ziga

Mine were fairly easy as the connections to the live had spade terminals on so it was just a matter of fitting one to the live for the replacement, I put a washer type terminal on the earth and fitted that to the fixing bolt.

They fit straight in and line up with the original holes, One of my originals had a rusty fixing bolt and needed some de-block and a small flamed blow torch but the other undid easy....Maybe some pre-soak with some WD or similar might be in order.

They need a little bit of a fiddle to get them straight but it wasn't too difficult....Ziga

Its the fixing bolt whats causing me the concern as it looks nothing like the one on the ebay advert. I have boxed it all back up now as it don't look too bad with the cibie covers on. Might be a job for the summer. just a straight swap and a fiddle with the electrics is that the prognosis?

The bolt is slightly different in size but the bracket it comes with is easy to fit together and the bolt then lines up with the fixing hole...Fiddling is optional...Only needed if you haven't lined them up before tightening... smile

I saw some of these for sale from a peugeot just after I bought my 350i
I didnt need them but they went for < £10 including postage so I had to buy them.

Very easy to fit. I got mine through a French trader for half the price.
