Headlights

nlike conventional headlights, the new ellipsoid headlights project the light beam directly on to the road. The beam is well-contoured and clearly defined with a brighter light than normal headlamps. The ellipsoid technology reduces the reflection and glare to a minimum.

There was absolutely no problem to find such headlights, as they are completely identical to that were put on 3-Series E30. The optics is available both in new, and used conditions.

The only problem that had to be solved was fastening.

I consider this upgrade quite correct both from the point of view of aesthetics and technical positions. The beam has really changed and became straight and clear, plus this step has enabled the simple installation of the xenon.

Do you mean that you can take a complete E30 headlight assembly (buckets, adjusters and lights) and just bolt it into the 635 front end? It looks like that might be possible. // Jose Sanchez


Boogie, there are two ways doing this upgrade:
Using original headlamps support plate (63 12 1 385 389-left, 63 12 1 385 390-right) and E30 headlamps
or using E32/34 headlamps with custom made support plate (strange operations with E32/34 support plate:)
As I know, Dnd chose second way.
