is it possible to fit all 3 (sidelights, headlights and full beam) into the one lamp? i really like what rossle's done at the front and just thought for MOT purpose's it would be a good idea.
currently without a BMW 😭

If you could mod a golf unit to work with the e30 lamp housing it would work, not a direct swap though the golf units are slightly larger.

Treeseries, your gay.

Stop trying to copy me. lol

Seriously though, why are you trying to go single lamps on an E30? i maybe a little drunk right now, but i don't think single lamps would suit an E30. It may be different.... but it might be different for a reason.

I cant see the front of an E30 looking good with single lamps. Go ahead and prove me wrong if you like......

But i think we'll be back to the Estoril Blue...... Red Leather interior argument again.... lol

Get your arse back in Essex, i need a hand de-greasing my block..... (in the technical sense... not the homosexual sense)

Thank you and good night....

my Mk1 sport had duel filiment sealed beams (US/Japan spec lights) they were high beam and low beam in one unit. when the high beam was selcected all four lights would switch to high beam, so to do what you want would only require this sort of set up. (and of course mods to the grill)
