E30 indicator lens question

[hansfreekit]

Hi all

My front left indicator lens is busted.
Its a 320i cabby '89.
..so its the plain old amber lens type.

Question is there's a few of them on ebay, and I wanna know if it the left and right side ones are identical lenses, or whether I have to get the front left specifically?

Answers much appreciated.
There is money to be saved.

Thanks.
Hans

Exactly the same both sides.

I would also check ECP & GFS as they might stock them and will be cheaper than Ebay...

Thank you sir.

just had a butchers... the ones on ECP are not BMW though. They are Fifft? or something.
I'd like to keep it real if poss.
cheers.

If your after genuine then give BMW a call too, some parts are cheaper new than what they go for second hand.

You not considered a second hand one from Jim here?

I just bought new indicator lenses fromcarparts for less, they come as a whole unit. Black casing, bulb holder, lens, seal and screws. All for next to nothing and the quality seems good to me.

I can supply some, need to double check on condition but personally I would just buy new from ECP or BMW directly
