E92 Lci headlight/where to buy?

So my right headlight for my e92 328 needs to be replaced and looking around the best price I could fine for a oem new replacement is 450, is this a good price? And recommendations on websites that sell them cheaper.

If it's OEM, I'd buy it. Aa long as your modules work & all you have to do change them over, I don't see why not

My angel eyes are dead on my current light and there's moisture and condensation on the inside of the glass due to a hairline crack, but the turn signal still works, does this mean my module still works or is broken? I'm confused why the blinker works but nothing else

I'm not sure you will know until you get the new headlight & transfer everything over and plug it in.

It's quite possible that the module on
The side of the headlight is toast.

OR

The module is ok but the Xeon light is toast.

I would buy :


OSRAM Xenarc Cool Blue Boost D1S Xenon Car Headlight Bulbs (Twin) 66140CBB-HCB

&

Lux Angle Eyes v7

OR

You could also have a short circuit blockage in the FRM. The FRM module protects the car buy shitting down specific lights that short out "x" times. You can't turn that light back on until you reset the specific counter associated with that light.

Tools 32 must be used to reset it. There is a specific DIY for this.

Where did you get the new OEM headlight for $450 by the way? Please Share....

I think it might be a problem with the frm could that be due to the moisture also what is the v7 angel eye

Your OP sounds like yur buying only one side, right? if so, swap modules from other side to see what comes on in current light you're wanting to replace (especially the ballast atleast).

The 328i lights you show are better styled at the inboard location. they look tho have a fake (but attractive) HID lens.

I have e90/335d with adaptive Xenons. The cornering light lens on mine is fugly. Good luck with which ever way you go.

Ended up biting the bullet and purchasing a complete setup that included all modules and bulbs. Hopefully can sell my old headlight for a few hundred
