Anyone in the West Midlands who can install new headlights?

Phil99z · 03-12-2015, 11:45 AM

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy some replacement headlights for my E91 (pre-LCI) halogens, these will either be genuine BMW LCI or maybe 3rd party ones - just depends on final prices, etc.

I've looked at the fitting of them and don't fancy tackling it myself since where I live I have no driveway or garage and I would prefer if it someone who's done it before did it.

I've contacted a couple of places in the West Midlands for quotes of them to fit and to supply and fit and no one has responded so thought I would put it out on here and ask....

I know MStyle can supply and fit but it's a bit of journey down there!

Cheers guys!

Where abouts in the West Midlands are you?

I'm in Wolverhampton and can help if you want. If going with LCI headlights then I assume you will be buying a new bumper etc too as the LCI headlights I believe are different in shape.

In Wolves too mate.

Thought the LCI ones would have been a straight swap but if not then I'll go for 3rd party ones.

Will drop you a PM.

Cheers!

I see you have an e91 pre lci. If you are just swapping your halogens for lci halogens there's no need to do anything else. It's a straight swap.

Thought it was. I'm not too hung up on the OEM look so don't mind either way.

Interesting. Didn't know that, as assumed headlights for pre and lci were different like the E92.

I thought so too Raj.

Pre-lci / lci are definitely straight swap.

Bumper off, disconnect wires, swap lights, replace.

I did it on the road-side (no driveway!) but nothing too major
