Euro Headlights

Does anyone, know if the euro headlights are still availble? One of my euro lenses has a rock hole in it

I see in real OEM that the "inserts" are still available and the price doesn't seem too bad, especially the "french" style ($35 an insert??). What is all included in the insert, I would assume it comes with the reflector and the lense?

Do they differ a lot from the OEs in US?

Sealed beams vs H1 housings.

They should still be available. All you need are the inserts. They work just like the drop in replacements for sealed beams. I bought some for my car. The French ones are NLA though last I checked. I've got a good used set of those though. Nothing to put them on.

Interesting, I would have thought those would be one of the NLA items by now. I will have to order some then, ECStuning and Realoem are still showing the euro French inserts as available. Realoem says $33 and ECS says $45.

I also just check Maximillian and they are available there as well. $53 for French low and $47 for French high. The clears are $88 for low and $88 for high. Odd there is such a price range.

I believe they still may be available. I replaced all my lights with Hella Euro units last year from BMW AG. They were in the $80 range as far as I can recall. The only problem I was faced with was that I also had to order the metal caps because the US rubber dust cover wouldn't fit. I ended up wiring the city light too and disconnected the one I retrofitted into the Euro turn signal housing.

You can try Steve at Bluntech if he can source them at a better price.

On a side note, I recommend adding the clear lamin-x headlight film covers to your new lenses. The film is already cut to the correct diameter and it's quite thick too.
