CL9 pre facelift and facelift headlights

[djpro1]

Can the CL9 2006+ headlights fit in the pre face lift models 2003-2006? Just curious as I do like the extra bright parkers.

Cheers

What do you mean by extra bright parkers? as far as I know they're the same parkers, just the cover is slightly different. If you want 'extra bright parkers' then you can just go buy yourself a set of new T10 socket lights

[djpro1]

i think theyre slightly different. apart from the blue cover, inside they have some metal reflector which brightens the overall setting. I know they both use T10 bulbs and trust me I've tried making mine brighter but its just a spickle even with decent T10 white LEDs..
I could try a DIY on the parkers on making them brighter with some aluminium. It just annoys me that they practically have no use at night.

will it physically fit and line up with the pre face lift bumper?

Answering my own question.
Yes, headlights can be interchanged. see link below

I had facelift headlights fitted to my pre-facelift, The only difference in terms of fitment is the ballast.

The facelift headlights have a slimmer ballast, you can use your current ballast if you buy facelift lights that don't come with a ballast you will just have to relocate it so the headlight fits in properly.

You got any pictures ? Straight fit??

Yes it is a straight fit, if you use pre-facelift ballasts you will have to move them off to the side, still a straight fit otherwise.

Thats look good! Might do it

That looks good. I didn't realise I started this thread 4 yrs ago. I have since sold my Euro just last month. Sad to see it go but I did get a 335i instead :)

djpro1 is right, the PFL headlight parkers are dull/dimmer than the FL headlights, i've also noticed it as well and want to change to FL headlights!

But the FL headlight cost arm and leg
