Hi all, I really want a set of yellow headlights like the french use, does anyone know where I could get a pair from and does anyone know how if I could get a set from France how I would change the aim over to right hand drive as they would surely be set up for left hand drive, Cheers :D

Try the dealers nicey. Also i think E30 headlights are capable of being switched over to either l/h or r/h drive.
Someone more authorotive will answer how.

the projector lights can be swapped from right to left hand drive by looseneing the three screws on the back of the projector unit and rotating the unit from one stop to the other.

personally not a fan of yellow lights, but has anyone got a pic of smoked yellow lights??

DIPS - the lamin-x stuff you used on the green touring, did you buy their E30 kit or did you buy a sheet and cut it yourself to fit? I'm going to get some but didn't know if the E30 template was good enough or if I should go for a sheet of it and cut it myself to fit... suggestions? :thumb:

Hi all, big thanx for every reply, dips i had a look at the lamix web site, do you know if it is sold by anyone in the uk?, was it expensive when you bought it?, this would be a simplier job than getting lights and fitting them!.
Cheers!! :D

Dips - I've set up a thread in the group buys/discount section to get discount on this stuff through their website. I'm just waiting on the discount code from them.

I've mentioned your touring above and stuck the pic into the thread - hope you don't mind? 8)
