Seen a listing on eBay for Smiley headlights from a BMW E34 5 series, complete with electric adjusters.
Stated as a great upgrade for BMW E30.
What's the upgrade? what's different?
thanks
E34, E32 , E30 smiley Headlights ?

Ah, so they'd need loom and stuff also to be any benefit? thanks.

Headlamps themselves won't fit, but the electric adjusters are easily fitted as a replacement for the unreliable E30 hydraulic ones.
There are instructions on here for converting the adjuster inside the car to electric operation, using a standard pot. and resistors. The loom is only three wires, so easy to make, but you do need the plugs to fit the E34 motors.
