E85 lights......

[Steve.Eagle]

Hi,

Can anyone let me know if the lights on my 2004 E85 are interchangeable with the later facelift light?

I love the look at my car but all the "orange" indicators do make it look dated. I'd really like to change them, if at all possible for the later lights with clear indicators.

Thanks in advance .

They are but need coding/wiring and a new bumper. You can get round style with clear indicators.

Not sure you need a new bumper? Unless you're talking about the rears?

only the rears - fronts are interchangeable plug and play.

Front lights easy swap
Side indicators easy swap
Rear lights modify/swap bumper

Fronts are not interchangable if you have xenons, require coding otherwise you lose flash to pass.

correct.

only non-xenon = halogen are interchangeable

So, just to clarify, the standard facelift clear lights just plug into the earlier standard pre-facelift cars? Same fitment?

What is flash to pass?

[Steve84N]

When you pull the stalk and the main beams flash.

Thanks for all your replys guys.......

That's all really useful info. In retro the rear bumper change, I presume the correct bumper would be a E86 bumper??

My car is a non xenon light car so sounds like the front end is easy!

Yes, but not for the reason you are thinking. E86 is a coupe, E85 is a roadster both pre and facelift.

So any facelift Z4 bumper will fit.

Ok great, that's cleared that up......

Are there any specialist breakers / shops etc that anyone could recommend for parts?

I've been looking on eBay but can't seem to find many parts for sale.
