Re: E34 headlight question

["Ron Buchalski" <rbuchals@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greg,

The E-code Hella lamps that can be installed in an E30 will NOT fit into an 
E34.  The headlight mounting is totally different.  I know...I removed the 
E-code Hella lights from my E30, with the hopes of installing them into my 
E34.  It won't work.  The E34 lamps have large mounting tabs molded onto 
them, and attach to the headlight buckets with special fasteners.  The E30 
lights attach to the headlight buckets via metal trim rings that encircle 
the lamps.

Also, the Sylvania product line is called 'Xenarc' not 'Xenon'.
